CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the
red zone, shif t to a higher gear or re-
duce engine speed. Operating the en-
gine in the red zone may cause serious
engine damage.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
NOTE:
The ignition switch must be placed in the
ON position for the gauge to give a
reading.
The gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature. The engine coolant tempera-
ture is within the normal range when the
reading is within the zone
OAshown in the
illustration. The engine coolant temperature varies
with the outside air temperature and driv-
ing conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge indicates a coolant tem-
perature near the hot (H) end of the
normal range, reduce vehicle speed to
decrease the temperature. If the gauge
is over the normal range, stop the ve-
hicle as soon as safely possible. If the
engine is overheated, continued opera-
tion of the vehicle may seriously dam-
age the engine. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “If your vehicle overheats”
in the “In case of emergency ” section
for immediate action required.
