Coolant temperature
| Coolant temperature |
The coolant temperature gauge provides the driver with information on the engine coolant temperature.
The coolant temperature gauge is supplied with power and is controlled by the main instrument unit.
The engine control module sends continuous information on the bus concerning the coolant temperature.
The cooling temperature gauge scale is divided by 5 fixed points. The main instrument is programmed to guide the gauge needle to the fixed points at specified temperatures in order to give stable indication at normal coolant temperatures.
The following break points are programmed in the main instrument unit (factory setting):
| Gauge needle: | Coolant temperature |
| starts to move | 50 °C (122°F) (fixed value) |
| into "horizontal" position | 80°C (176°F) |
| out of "horizontal" position | 115 °C (239°F) |
| into "red" zone | 129 °C (264°F) ("ENGINE COOLANT HOT" shown on SID) |
| out of "red" zone | 133 °C (271°F) (fixed value) |
