Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge

This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant, not
the coolant level. If the coolant is not at its proper level or
mixture, the gauge indication will not be accurate.

Engine coolant temperature gauge — base cluster
[IS11700(ALL)01/96]
The pointer moves from the C (cold) mark into the NORMAL
band as the engine coolant warms up. It is acceptable for the
pointer to fluctuate within the normal band under normal
driving conditions. Under certain driving conditions such as
heavy stop and go traffic, or driving up hills in hot weather, the
pointer may indicate at the top of the NORMAL band. This is
also acceptable.
*
[IS11800(ALL)04/96]
If, under any circumstances, the pointer moves above the
NORMAL band, the engine is overheating and continued
operation may cause engine damage.
*
[IS11900(ALL)08/96]
If your engine overheats:
*
[IS12000(ALL)08/96] 1.

*
[IS12100(ALL)08/96] 2.
Turn off the engine. If you do not stop the engine as soon as
safely possible, severe engine damage could result.
