Notice: Driving with the engine coolant temperature
warning light on could cause your vehicle to
overheat. See Engine Overheating

the engine coolant temperature warning light on.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gage

This gage shows the engine coolant temperature.
Under normal driving conditions the gage will read
210°F (100 °C) or less. If the gage pointer is near
260°F (125 °C), the engine is too hot.

It means that your engine coolant has overheated.
If you have been operating your vehicle under normal
driving conditions, you should pull off the road, stop your
vehicle and turn off the engine as soon as possible.

See Engine Overheating on page 5-25 for more
information.
