I have just recently gotten this car. Does anybody know if there is a overheating warning light? I've never had a car this old and there's limited info online. Unfortunately the owners manual didn't make it with the car either. Thanks

Hello,

In the diagrams down below I have included all of your vehicle's warning lights and a description of what and how each one works. Please get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thank you. There is no temperature gauge on this model for me to look at so I wondered if the check engine light would come on if it were to begin to overheat or if there was another warning light etc. Thank you!

Hello again,

On the third diagram there is a description of the temperature warning light and how it operates, including a description of it's bulb check procedure. I have it highlighted for you.

Thanks,
