Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
210
This gage shows the
engine coolant
temperature.
If
the
gage pointer moves
into the red area, your
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.

Burn

Badly!

Oil Pressure Gage
The oil pressure gage
shows the engine oil
pressure in psi
(pounds per square
inch) when the engine
is running. Canadian
vehicles indicate
pressure
in
kPa
(kilopascals).
Oil pressure may vary with engine speed, outside temperature and oil
viscosity, but readings above
the
low pressure zone indicate the normal
operating range.
A
reading in the low pressure zone may be caused by a aangerously
low
oil
level or other problems causing low oil pressure.
