Mazda 6 Owners Manual: Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
Displays the engine coolant temperature. The blue gauge indicates that the engine coolant temperature is low, and the red gauge indicates that the engine coolant temperature is high and overheating.
CAUTION
If the high engine coolant temperature warning light (red) turns on, there is a possibility of overheating. Park the vehicle in a safe place immediately and take appropriate measures. If the vehicle continues to be driven, it could cause damage to the engine.
Refer to Overheating.
NOTE
- The temperature unit (Centigrade/ Fahrenheit) of the engine coolant gauge display changes in conjunction with the temperature unit of the outside temperature display.
- During normal driving, the engine coolant temperature stabilizes at 100 °C (210 °F) or less, and the gauge indicates a range lower than 100 °C (210 °F).
- If the engine load increases and the engine coolant temperature exceeds 100 °C (210 °F), the gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature.
