Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
I I
I I
United States Canada
This gage shows the engine coolant temperature.
It also provides an indicator of how hard your vehicle is
working. During a majority of the operation, the gage
will read 210°F (100°C) or less. If you are pulling a load
or going up hills, it is normal for the temperature
to
fluctuate and approach the 250°F (122°C) mark. If the
gage reaches the 260°F
(1 25°C) mark, it indicates
that the cooling system is working beyond its capacity.

Transmission Temperature Gage
United States
Canada
Your vehicle is equipped with a transmission
temperature gage.
When your ignition is on, the gage shows the temperature
of the transmission fluid. The normal operating range is
from 100°F (38°C) to about 265°F (130°C).
At approximately 265°F (1 30°C), the DIC will display a
TRANSMISSION HOT message and the transmission will
enter a transmission protection mode. When the
transmission enters the protection mode, you may notice
a change in the transmission shifting patterns. The
transmission will return
to normal shifting patterns when
the transmission fluid temperature falls below
260°F (127°C).
