Typical Water Temperature Gauge
Figure 19 Water temperature gauge
The water temperature gauge indicates the temperature of
coolant in the cooling system. The gauge operates only when
the ignition switch is turned to ON. Normal engine operating
temperature is 96 °C (205 °F).
CAUTION: To prevent engine damage – do not operate engine
above 112 °C (234 °F); this may cause internal damage.
The indicator lamp will be activated at engine coolant
temperatures above 109 °C (228 °F). If engine temperature
suddenly rises shut down engine, and determine the cause
of overheating. If necessary contact an authorized service
provider.
