Needle in red field
- warning
Combination Instruments
Coolant temperature gauge
Needle in white field
- engine is cold
As long as needle is in white field, avoid
high speeds and high engine rpm, until
engine has reached normal operating
temperature. Do not lug the engine.
Needle in center striped field
- normal
Under normal driving conditions, needle
should remain in center field. The needle
may reach the red field, especially at high
engine loads, but should return to "normal"
when engine load is reduced.
If needle enters the red field, the engine is
overheating. The central warning light will
also come on. Reduce speed and engine
rpm. If the needle does not return to the
center field, and the central warning light
remains on, pull off the road, turn off the
engine and let it cool down.
Coolant temperature
warning light
If this light comes on, the
electric fan
or the
belt driven
mechanical fan
may not be
working to provide sufficient cooling. Pull off
the road and turn off the engine. If the
elec
tric fan
is working, it may still be running for
awhile.
WARNING: Wait until engine has cooled
down. The radiator fan switches on auto
matically when the coolant reaches
92° C
(198°
F) and continues running - even
with engine turned off - until the coolant
temperature has dropped to 87° C(189° F).
If the electric
fan
does not work, check for
a blown fuse or contact nearest workshop.
If the
mechanical fan
is not working, the fan
belt may be loose or broken. The belt should
be re-tensioned or replaced.
