UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 99 CAUTION! The TPM system is designed to monitor your tire pressure and will not function as a tire pressure gauge. After adjusting the air pressure in a tire, there will be a delay before the system updates the display. NOTE: The TPM system can inform you about a low tire pressure condition, but it does not replace normal tire maintenance. The TPM system is not intended to provide you with notification of rapid pressure loss. NOTE: The pressure in your tires changes with temperature. A significant decrease in temperature could reduce cold inflation pressure below the TPM setpoint. ALWAYS check the pressure in your tires if the TPM lamp is illuminated. 3. Coolant Indicator Light This indicator illuminates when the engine coolant has dropped below the required level in the reservoir or the coolant temperature is too high (see the Temperature gauge section). To check the coolant level, the vehicle must be parked on level ground and the engine stopped. Check coolant level only when the coolant is cold. WARNING! You or others can be badly burned by hot coolant or steam from your radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, don't open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when the radiator or coolant bottle is hot. 4. Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge This gauge shows engine coolant temperature. Any reading between the Hot and Cold gauge marks show that the engine cooling system is operating properly. The gauge pointer may show a higher temperature when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades, or in heavy stop-andgo-traffic. 4
