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

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!
