system is turned on.

32. Coolant Temperature Light – Base Cluster Only

This light indicates engine coolant temperature is
to high. If the light comes on, stop the vehicle, shift
into NEUTRAL, and increase the engine idle

speed for two to three minutes. If the light does not turn
off, shut your engine OFF and allow it to cool. See an
authorized dealer for service immediately. Refer to
“Cooling System” under “Maintaining Your Vehicle” in
section 7.

CAUTION!

Do not leave your vehicle unattended with the en-
gine running as you would not be able to react to the
temperature indicator if the engine overheats.

NOTE:

Engine idle speed will automatically increase to

1000 rpm at elevated coolant temperatures to improve
engine cooling.

33. Battery Voltage Indicator Light – Base Cluster

voltage gauge moving out of normal range. In either case,
see you local authorized dealer for system service.

34. Oil Pressure Indicator light – Base Cluster Only

This light indicates continuous high or low oil
pressure, and under normal driving conditions,

may indicate a lubrication system malfunction. Immedi-
ate service should be obtained.
