Coolant Temperature Gauge
1. Coolant temperature gauge
The coolant temperature gauge
indicates the temperature of the engine
coolant.
When the ignition is switched on, all
eight bars of the display will be shown.
When the engine is started from cold
the display will show one bar. As the
temperature increases more bars in the
display will be shown. When the engine
is started from hot the display will show
the relevant number of bars, dependant
on engine temperature.
The normal temperature range is
between four and six bars. If the coolant
temperature becomes too high the
display will show eight bars and will start
to flash. The high coolant temperature
light in the tachometer will also be
illuminated.
Do not continue to run the engine if
either of the high temperature
warnings are displayed as severe
engine damage may result.
