2009 Malibu Automobile Owner's Manual

Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
This gage shows the engine coolant temperature. If the
pointer moves towards the H (United States) or to the
shaded thermostat symbol area (Canada), the engine is
too hot.
A temperature indicator light turns on and a chime
sounds.
The vehicle is operated under normal driving conditions
and the temperature indicator light comes on, pull off the
road, stop the vehicle, and turn off the engine as soon as
possible.
Tire Pressure Light
For vehicles with a tire
pressure monitoring
system, this light comes
on briefly when the engine
is started.
It provides information about tire pressures and the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System.
When the Light is On Steady
This indicates that one or more of the tires is significantly
underinflated.
A tire pressure message in the Driver Information Center
(DIC), can accompany the light. See DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-46 for more information. Stop and
check the tires as soon as it is safe to do so. If a tire is
underinflated, inflate to the proper pressure. See Tires on
page 5-51 for more information.
