either too high or too low. Examine the gages carefully,
and follow the instructions above for each indicated
problem.

NOTE:

When the ignition switch is turned to OFF, the

fuel gage, voltmeter, oil pressure, and temperature gages
will not show any readings. When the engine is not
running, turn the ignition switch to ON to obtain accu-
rate readings.

12. Part Time Indicator Light

This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is in
the PART TIME four–wheel drive mode, and
the front and rear driveshafts are mechanically

locked together forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate
at the same speed.

13. Transmission Over Temperature Warning Light

This light indicates that there is excessive transmis-
sion fluid temperature that might occur with severe

usage such as trailer towing or snow plowing. If this light

comes on, stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle or
faster, with the transmission in N (Neutral) until the light
goes off.

14. Temperature Gage

Indicates engine coolant temperature. Any read-
ing within the normal range indicates that the
cooling system is operating satisfactorily.

The gage pointer will likely indicate a higher temperature
(above center scale) 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.

If the pointer rises to the 260° (Hot) mark, pull over and
stop the vehicle. Do not turn the engine off. Idle the
vehicle with the air conditioning turned off, until the
pointer drops back into the normal range.
