CAUTION!
Do not operate the engine with the tachom-
eter pointer in the red area. Engine damage
will occur.
16. Coolant Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated en-
gine condition. If the light turns on
while driving, safely pull over and stop
the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off.
Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and
idle the vehicle. If the temperature reading does
not return to normal, turn the engine off imme-
diately and call for service.
NOTE:
As the coolant temperature gauge ap-
proaches
ⴖ
H,
ⴖ
this indicator will illuminate
and a single chime will sound. Further over-
heating will cause the temperature gauge to
pass
ⴖ
H.
ⴖ
In this case, a continuous chime
will sound, until the engine is allowed to
cool.
17. Rear Fog Light Indicator — If Equipped
This indicator will illuminate when the
rear fog lights are on.
18. Vehicle Security Light — If Equipped
This light will flash at a fast rate for
approximately 15 seconds, when
the vehicle security alarm is arm-
ing, and then will flash slowly until
the vehicle is disarmed.
19. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine coolant
temperature. Any reading within the normal
range indicates that the engine cooling system
is operating satisfactorily.
The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher
temperature when driving in hot weather, up
mountain grades, or when towing a trailer. It
should not be allowed to exceed the upper limits
of the normal operating range.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system
could damage your vehicle. If the tempera-
ture gauge reads “H” pull over and stop the
vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air condi-
tioner turned off until the pointer drops back
into the normal range. If the pointer remains
on the “H” and you hear continuous chimes,
turn the engine off immediately and call an
authorized dealer for service.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous.
You or others could be badly burned by
steam or boiling coolant. You may want to
call an authorized dealer for service if your
vehicle overheats. If you decide to look un-
der the hood yourself, see “Maintaining Your
Vehicle”. Follow the warnings under the
Cooling System Pressure Cap paragraph.
