Before closing the hood, be sure all the filler caps
are on properly. Then just pull the hood down and close
it firmly.
3800
Supercharged (Code
1)
Engine
(If
Equipped)
Your vehicle may have
a
3800
Supercharged engine.
The supercharger is a device which is designed to pump
more air into the engine than it would normally use.
This
air
is mixed with fuel, which creates increased
engine power. Since the supercharger is a pump and is
driven from an engine accessory drive belt, increased
pressure
is
available at all driving conditions.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM), works with a
vacuum control to regulate the increased pressure
required during specific driving conditions. When this
increased pressure or boost is not desired, such as during
idling and light throttle cruising, the excess air that the
supercharger is pumping is routed through a bypass. All
of these controls working together provide high
performance character and fuel efficiency in the
3800
Supercharged
L67
engine.

Oil
LOW
OIL
If
the LOW OIL light on the
instrument panel comes on,
it means you need to check
your engine oil level right
away. For more
information,
see
“Low Oil
Level Light” in the Index.
You should check your engine oil level regularly; this
is
an added reminder.
It’s a good idea to check your engine oil every time you
get fuel. In order to get an accurate reading, the oil must
be warm and the vehicle must be on level ground.
