Instrument Panel Indicators High Temperature Indicator This indicator shows the temperature of the engine coolant. It normally comes on when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position and goes off after a few seconds. In normal driving conditions, this indicator should not blink or stay on. In severe driving conditions, such as very hot weather or a long period of uphill driving, this indicator may blink. This means the engine coolant temperature is high. If the indicator begins to blink while you are driving, be sure to slow down to prevent overheating. If the indicator stays on, pull safely to the side of the road and turn off the engine. See page 398 for instructions and precautions on checking the engine's cooling system. Low Temperature Indicator This indicator shows the temperature of the engine coolant. If there is no problem, this indicator comes on when the engine is cold. If it comes on when the engine is warm (normal operating temperature), have the vehicle inspected by your dealer as soon as possible. Instruments and Controls If the indicator begins to blink or stays on, you will also see a ''WATER TEMP HOT'' message on the multiinformation display. This warning will alert you that the engine should be cooled down. Do not drive the vehicle while the indicator is on or the engine may be damaged. 67 2010 Insight
