23. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge indicates engine cool-
ant temperature. Any reading within the normal
range indicates that the cooling system is op-
erating satisfactorily. The gauge pointer will
likely indicate a high temperature when driving
in hot weather, up mountain grades, in heavy
traffic, or when towing a trailer. If the pointer
rises to the “H” mark, safely pull over and stop
the vehicle. If the air conditioner is on, turn it off.
Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and
idle the vehicle. If the needle remains on the
“H” mark, turn the engine off immediately and
call for service.
CAUTION!
Do not leave your vehicle unattended with the
engine running, as you would not be able to
react to the temperature indicator if the engine
overheats.
24. Transmission Temperature Warning
Light — If Equipped
This light indicates that the trans-
mission fluid temperature is run-
ning hot. This may occur with se-
vere usage, such as trailer towing.
If this light turns on, safely pull over
and stop the vehicle. Then, shift
the transmission into NEUTRAL and run the
engine at idle or faster until the light turns off.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Transmission
Temperature Warning Light illuminated will
eventually cause severe transmission dam-
age or transmission failure.
WARNING!
If the Transmission Temperature Warning
Light is illuminated and you continue operat-
ing the vehicle, in some circumstances you
could cause the fluid to boil over, come in
contact with hot engine or exhaust compo-
nents and cause a fire.
