Ummm........when the light comes on, and you get the idiot noise.....it usually means you need to add coolant, since the "add coolant" light came on. Yea the the temp won't go up instantly, but the longer you drive without it, I'm pretty sure the temp will go up.....so when you get the chance, add coolant to your car. I've been through this already with my 91. Sorry, I'm not in the 3rd gen bunch.
Edit; and oil has nothing to do with the coolant light.....assumption. Isn't there an oil light on the 3rd gens?

I won't let go
Yes there's an oil light. The buzzer is a level sensor. Doesn't mean that you're completely out of coolant. Best thing to do is make the next possible stop and let it cool off and fill it back up.

and if that doesn't help, check the sensor. It's right below the filler cap on the front side of the housing. Make sure the connector is well seated and that the sensor is well grounded to the housing.
