Engine oil pressure gauge:
Indicates engine oil pressure. The
needle should stay in the normal operating range (between L and H). If
the needle falls below the normal range, stop the vehicle, turn off the
engine and check the engine oil level. Add oil if needed. If the oil level is
correct, have your vehicle checked at your authorized dealer.
2.
Engine coolant temperature gauge:
Indicates engine coolant
temperature. At normal operating temperature, the needle will be in the
normal range (between H and C).
If it enters the red section, the
engine is overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible,
switch off the engine and let the engine cool.
WARNING:
Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the
engine is running or hot.
3.
Transmission fluid temperature gauge:
If the gauge is in the:
Normal area
The transmission fluid is within the normal operating
temperature (between H and C).
Yellow area
The transmission fluid is higher than normal operating
temperature. This can be caused by special operation conditions (i.e.
snowplowing, towing or off road use). Refer to
Special operating
conditions
in the
scheduled maintenance information
for instructions.
Operating the transmission for extended periods of time with the gauge
in the yellow area may cause internal transmission damage.
