Warning Lights, Gauges,
and Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can signal
that something is wrong before it
becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement.
Paying attention to the warning lights
and gauges could prevent injury.
Some warning lights come on briefly
when the engine is started to indicate
they are working. When one of the
warning lights comes on and stays on
while driving, or when one of the
gauges shows there may be a problem,
check the section that explains what
to do. Waiting to do repairs can be
costly and even dangerous.

124 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
Engine Coolant
Temperature Gauge
Base Level Standard Theme Shown
Balanced Configuration Shown
This gauge measures the engine
coolant temperature.
The warning area at the far end of the
gauge may appear shaded or may be
colored red.
If the pointer approaches the warning
area or the shaded thermostat symbol,
the engine may be too hot.
Under some driving conditions,
including those listed below, it is
normal for the temperature to rise
above the usual operating range and
approach the far end of the gauge:
. Stop and go driving in heavy
traffic. .
High speed operation in warm
weather.
. Uphill driving.
. Trailer towing or hauling a
heavy load.
It is normal for the reading to
fluctuate.
If the gauge pointer reaches the
warning area or the shaded
thermostat symbol at the far end of
the gauge and remains there for more
than 30 seconds, the engine coolant
has overheated.
If the engine coolant has overheated,
pull over and stop the vehicle as soon
as it is safe to do so. Then, turn the
engine off immediately.
See Engine Overheating 0259.
