temp gauge
Temperature reading device
A temp gauge is a dashboard instrument showing engine temperature, specifically how hot the coolant is running.
Most drivers ignore it until the needle climbs into the red, signaling overheating: The temp gauge spiked and steam started pouring from under the hood.
Short for temperature gauge.
