Engine coolant temperature gauge

The gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature. The engine coolant temperature is within the normal range when the gauge needle points within the zone 1 shown in the illustration. The engine coolant temperature varies with the outside air temperature and driving conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge indicates engine coolant
temperature near the hot (H) end of the
normal range, reduce vehicle speed to
decrease temperature. If gauge is over the
normal range, stop the vehicle as soon as
safely possible. If the engine is overheated,
continued operation of the vehicle may
seriously damage the engine. See “If your
vehicle overheats” in the “6. In case of
emergency” section for immediate action
required.
