Just found out it's the engine temp gauge. Mine is acting up because my temp is fine doesn't go past half and only when i corner hard right or left and go over bumps in the road does it go on. It doesn't stay on just a flicker, just been wonderin whats up with it. My oil level is fine as well.

LOL that's so wrong.... The far left light is not a temprature warning indicator.

It only indicates that your coolant level is low in the reservoir (?sp). Of course low coolant level indicates coolant consumption, which means coolant leak which means you need to post several more times about "blown head gasket". Then go fix the cracked, broken coolant hose or radiator cap.

Oh, and fill your coolant bottle behind the bumper to turn out said light.

Why the heck does the manual say so then?
