This gauge measures the temperature of the vehicle's engine.

If the indicator needle moves into the shaded area, the engine is too hot.

While driving under normal operating conditions, if the needle moves into the shaded area, the engine is too hot. Pull off the road, stop the vehicle and turn off the engine as soon as possible.
