Engine Coolant Temperature Gage

This gage measures
the temperature of the
vehicle’s engine coolant.

If the indicator needle moves towards the shaded in
thermostat, the engine is too hot. The engine coolant
temperature warning light will turn on. See Engine
Coolant Temperature Warning Light
on page 3-32
for more information.

If you have been operating your vehicle under normal
driving conditions, and the engine coolant temperature
warning light comes on, you should pull off the road,
stop your vehicle and turn off the engine as soon
as possible.

Tire Pressure Light

For vehicles with a tire
pressure monitoring
system, this light comes
on briefly when the engine
is started.

It provides information about tire pressures and the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System.

When the Light is On Steady

This indicates that one or more of the tires is significantly
underinflated.

A tire pressure message in the Driver Information
Center (DIC), can accompany the light. See DIC
Warnings and Messages
on page 3-49 for more
information. Stop and check the tires as soon as it is
safe to do so. If a tire is underinflated, inflate to the
proper pressure. See Tires on page 5-48 for more
information.
