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 (1 25°C) mark, it indicates
that the cooling system is working beyond its capacity.
