Your vehicle is equipped with a low coolant indicator
which is designed to detect when the coolant level drops
below set limits.
If
the low coolant level sensor (on the
radiator) drops while the engine is running, the low
coolant indicator will light and remain lit until the
ignition
is
turned to
OFF.
Check coolant level
and
add
coolant as needed. The low coolant light might stay on
after filling the radiator. Turn the ignition to
OFF,
then
restart
the
engine to
verify
that
the
low coolant light
goes out. See “Engine Coolant” in the Index.
NOTICE:
Driving with the low coolant light on could
cause
your
vehicle
to
overheat.
See
“Engine
Overheating”
