206 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 4. Coolant Temperature Warning Light This light warns of an overheated engine condition. If the light turns on while driving, safely pull over and stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transaxle into NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately and call for service. (See page 394 for more information.) NOTE: As the coolant temperature gauge approaches H, this indicator will illuminate and a single chime will sound. Further overheating will cause the temperature gauge to pass H. In this case, the indicator light will flash continuously and a continuous chime will sound, until the engine is allowed to cool. CAUTION! Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads "H," safely pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the A/C turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on the "H," and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine OFF immediately, and call for service.
