What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Suzuki?

Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard. If a low coolant warning light comes on or your dashboard temperature gauge keeps rising, it’s likely that your engine is about to overheat (and could leave you stranded on the road). Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.

To help prevent rust from becoming a major issue, it's important to properly maintain your radiator system.
