It means that you either have a wire loose on the reservor or need to add some coolant to it. It should be located on the right front fender. There is a wire plug on the bottom, if it is loose it will show that you need some coolant. Yeah, a water down symbol would probably indicate low coolant? Anyway, gotta love the days when GM used lights that actually said "coolant low" instead of stupid symbols.

How does a water gauge works?

To answer you question more thoroughly I will need more detail because there are several different types of water qauges. You have a water temperature gauge, water pressure gauge and water level gauges.


2002 chevt cavalier Heat gauge maxed at high steam coming from hood and all gauge lights went on and radiator fluid is empty?

If the cooling fans were working and all the hoses and water pump are not leaking coolant I would suspect the head gasket and/or a cracked head is very possible. You need to have the cooling system pressure checked, this will help determine the cause of the coolant leak. I wouldn't run the engine anymore at this point, if coolant is mixing with the engine oil it would be the end soon.
