GMC Terrain. Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge

English Above Level

This gauge shows the engine coolant temperature.

If the pointer moves into the warning zone at the top of the gauge, the engine is too hot.

If the engine coolant overheats and the vehicle is being driven under normal driving conditions, pull off the road, stop the vehicle, and turn off the engine as soon as possible. Refer to Engine Overheating.
