Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
This gage shows the engine
coolant temperature.
If
the gage pointer moves into the red warning zone on
your instrument cluster, your engine
is
too hot! It means
your engine coolant has overheated.
A
warning chime
may
also
sound.
If
you
have been operating your vehicle
under normal driving conditions, you should pull
off
the
road, stop your vehicle and
turn
off
the engine as soon
as possible.
In
the section “Problems on the Road,” this manual
explains what to do. See “Engine Overheating” in
the Index.

fuel, ignition and emission
This system is called OBD
I1
(On-Board
Diagnostics-Second Generation) and is intended to
assure that emissions
are
at acceptable levels for the
life of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner
environment. The CHECK ENGINE light comes on to
indicate that there is a problem and service is required.
Malfunctions often will be indicated by the system
before any problem is apparent. This may prevent more
serious damage to your vehicle. This system is also
designed to assist your service technician in correctly
diagnosing any malfunction.
