Abstract
Provided is a thermometer that is mounted on an engine incorporated in a vehicle and that measures the temperature of the engine during running of the vehicle. A temperature/resistance element included in the thermometer senses the temperature of the engine all the time. The sensed temperature is displayed on a display. Furthermore, a temperature warning indicator indicates whether the sensed temperature exceeds a warning set temperature. While monitoring the sensed temperature and temperature warning indication, a driver can accelerate the vehicle or shift the transmission gear so as to retain a load on the engine in an optimal state.
