HONDA 2012 Insight - Manual (Page 73)

If the indicator begins to blink or
stays on, you will also see a ‘‘WATER
TEMP HOT’’ message on the multi-
information display. This warning
will alert you that the engine should
be cooled down.
This indicator shows the
temperature of the engine coolant. It
normally comes on when you turn
the ignition switch to the ON (II)
position and goes off after a few
seconds. In normal driving
conditions, this indicator should not
blink or stay on. In severe driving
conditions, such as very hot weather
or a long period of uphill driving, this
indicator may blink. This means the
engine coolant temperature is high.
If the indicator begins to blink while
you are driving, be sure to slow down
to prevent overheating. If the
indicator stays on, pull safely to the
side of the road and turn off the
engine. See page
for instructions
and precautions on checking the
engine’s cooling system. Do not drive the vehicle while the
indicator is on or the engine may be
damaged.
This indicator shows the
temperature of the engine coolant. If
there is no problem, this indicator
comes on when the engine is cold. If
it comes on when the engine is warm
(normal operating temperature),
have the vehicle inspected by your
dealer as soon as possible.
