CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
With the starter switch in the "ON" position,
this gauge indicates the temperature of the
engine coolant. "C" means cold while "H"
means hot. If the engine overheats, the
engine overheat warning light comes on
(a model without multi-information display
(MID)) or the warning message is indicated
(a model with MID) and a warning buzzer
sounds. During operation, the needle
should stay in the safety zone.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
ADVICE
If the needle goes up above the •
upper limit of the safety zone and
enters the "H" zone while you
are driving, the engine is likely to
overheat. Immediately pull safely off
the road out of the way of any traffic
and take the necessary actions to
deal with engine overheating.
If the needle nears the "H" zone but
•
is still in the safety zone, this is not
a problem. But, check the coolant
level in the reservoir. Add coolant
as required.
The engine can seize up if it is
•
stopped immediately after driving.
Take appropriate actions for engine
overheating.
