This gauge shows the engine coolant temperature when the ignition switch or engine start/stop button is in the ON position.

CAUTION

If the gauge pointer moves beyond the normal range toward "130 or H", it indicates overheating, which may cause engine damage.

Do not continue driving with an overheated engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer to "If the Engine Overheats" in Chapter 7.

WARNING

Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Engine coolant is under pressure and may cause severe scalding. Wait until the engine has cooled before adding coolant to the reservoir.
