This gage shows the engine coolant temperature.
If
the
gage pointer moves into the shaded area, your
engine
is
too hot.
This 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.
(The larger tic marks are in increments
of
30"
below
220°F
(1

IO"
above
220°F
(1

control systems.
This system is called OBD
II
(On-Board
Diagnostics-Second Generation) and is intended
to
assure that emissions are at acceptable levels for the
life of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner
environment. The CHECK ENGINE light comes on to
indicate that there is a problem and service is required.
Malfunctions often will be indicated by the system
before any problem is apparent. This may prevent more
serious damage to your vehicle. This system is also
designed to assist your service technician in correctly
diagnosing any malfunction.
Notice:
If you keep driving your vehicle with this
light on, after a while, your emission controls
may not work as well, your fuel economy may not
be as good and your engine may not run as
smoothly. This could lead to costly repairs that may
not be covered by your warranty.
