Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
United States Canada
This gage shows the engine coolant temperature.
It also provides an indicator of how hard your vehicle
is working. During a majority of the operation, the gage
will read 210
_
F (100
_
C) or less. If you are pulling a
load or going up hills, it is normal for the temperature to
fluctuate and approach the 250
_
F (122
_
C) mark. If the
gage reaches the 260
_
F (125
_
C) mark, it indicates that
the cooling system is working beyond its capacity.
See “Engine Overheating” in the Index.
