Engine Temperature Warning Light

Engine Temperature Warning Light

High priority warning

An engine temperature warning light means the engine may be overheating. Continuing to drive can turn a manageable cooling-system issue into major engine damage, so this is one of the warning lights to take seriously straight away.

What to Do Next

Stop the vehicle safely, switch the engine off, and allow it to cool. Do not remove caps or open the cooling system while it is hot.
