Coolant temperature display
WARNING
Driving when your engine is overheated can
cause some fluids which may have leaked into
the engine compartment to catch fire. You
could be seriously burned.
Steam from an overheated engine can cause
serious burns which can occur just by opening
the engine hood. Stay away from the engine
if you see or hear steam coming from it.
Stop the vehicle in a safe location away from
other traffic. Turn off the engine, get out of the
vehicle and do not stand near the vehicle until
the engine has cooled down.
The coolant temperature gauge is in the instrument cluster on the left-hand side.
Under normal operating conditions and with the specified coolant level, the coolant temperature may rise to 248 °F (120 °C).
If the coolant temperature is too high a
display message is shown.
If the coolant temperature rises above
248 °F(120 °C), do not drive any further as
this could damage the engine.
