Instrumentation • Standard analog instrument cluster F E • Optional electronic instrument cluster F 1/2 E Engine coolant temperature gauge Indicates the temperature of the engine coolant. At normal operating temperature, the needle remains within the normal area (the area between the "H" and "C"). If it enters the red section, the engine is overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, switch off the ignition and let it cool. Refer to Engine coolant in the Maintenance and care chapter. This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant, not the coolant level. If the coolant is not at its proper level or mixture, the gauge indication will not be accurate. Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is running or hot. • Standard analog instrument cluster H C 17
