Engine coolant temperature gauge If the engine coolant temperature gauge moves into the H zone: 1. Pull off the road as soon as is safely possible. 2. Turn off the engine and let it cool. 3. Check and add engine coolant as necessary. Refer to Checking and adding engine coolant in the Maintenance and care chapter. If the coolant level and mixture is not properly maintained, the engine coolant temperature gauge will not read properly.
