Temperature Gauge The temperature gauge indicates engine coolant temperature. Any reading within the normal range indicates that the cooling system is operating satisfactory. The temperature gauge will likely indicate a high temperature when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades, in heavy traffic or when towing a trailer. If the temperature gauge rises to the "H" mark, stop the vehicle, and shift into NEUTRAL, press the TOW/HAUL button and increase engine speed for two to three minutes. If the temperature reading does not return to normal, see your authorized dealer for service immediately. CAUTION! Do not leave your vehicle unattended with the engine running as you would not be able to react to the temperature reading if the engine overheats. The temperature gauge will remain near its last reading when the ignition is turned OFF. It will return to a true reading when the engine is restarted. 3. Turn Signal Indicators When a turn signal is activated, right-pointing or leftpointing arrows illuminate and flash to indicate the direction of the turn. These indicators also indicate proper operation of the front and rear turn signal lights. If either indicator flashes at a faster rate than normal, check for a defective bulb. If either indicator fails to light up when the multifunction lever is moved, check for a defective fuse or turn signal LED. A single chime is 4
