CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
With the power mode in "ON" (models
with passive entry and start system) or the
starter switch in the "ON" position (models
without passive entry and start system),
this gauge indicates the temperature of
the engine coolant. "C" means cold while
"H" means hot. If the engine overheats,
the engine coolant temperature gauge will
indicate "H" zone and flash, the engine
overheat warning light will come on, and
the engine overheat warning buzzer will
sound. During operation, the gauge should
normally indicate within the safety zone.

ADVICE
• If the gauge goes up above the
upper limit of the safety zone and
enters the "H" zone while you
are driving, the engine is likely to
overheat. Immediately pull safely off
the road out of the way of any traffic
and take necessary actions to deal
with engine overheating.
• If the gauge is near the "H" zone
but is still in the safety zone, this is
not a malfunction. However, check
the coolant level in the reserve tank.
Add coolant as required.
• The engine can seize up if it is
stopped immediately after driving.
Take appropriate actions for engine
overheating.
