Temperature Gauge

The temperature gauge displays the engine coolant temperature when the ignition switch is ON. The coolant temperature will vary in accordance with the outside temperature and driving conditions. When the temperature gauge pointer reaches near the middle range, engine operation is at its optimum. Avoid high revving operation when the engine is not warm enough. See Fig 1 .
