5-16 Instruments and Controls
Engine Coolant
Temperature Gauge
Metric
English
This gauge shows the engine
coolant temperature.
It also provides an indicator of how
hard the vehicle is working. During a
majority of the operation, the gauge
wil read 100°C (210°F) or less. If the
vehicle is pulling a load or going up
hills, it is normal for the temperature
to fluctuate and approach the
122°C (250°F) mark. If the gauge
reaches the 125°C (260°F) mark, it
indicates that the cooling system is
working beyond its capacity.
See Engine Overheating on
page 10‑25.
Voltmeter Gauge
When the engine is not running, but
the ignition is on, this gauge shows
the battery's state of charge in
DC volts.
When the engine is running, the
gauge shows the condition of the
charging system. Readings between
the low and high warning zones
indicate the normal operating range.
