What It Means
Engine Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated engine condition. As engine coolant temperatures rise and
the gauge approaches H, this indicator will illuminate and a single chime will sound after
reaching a set threshold.
If the light turns on while driving, safely pull over and stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is
on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the tempera-
ture reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately and call for service.
Refer to “If Your Engine Overheats” in “What To Do In Emergencies” for further information.
