Overheated
Engine
Protection
Operating Mode
Should
a
low coolant condition exist and the message
STOP
ENGINE ENGINE
OVERHEATED
is displayed,
an overheat protection mode which alternates firing
groups
of
four cylinders helps prevent engine damage.
In
this mode,
you
will notice a loss
in
power and engine
performance. This operating mode allows your vehicle
to be driven to a safe place in
an
emergency; you may
drive up to
50
miles
(80
km).
Towing a trailer
in
the
overheat protection mode should be avoided.
NOTICE:
After driving in the overheated engine protection
operating mode, to
avoid
engine damage, allow
the engine to cool before attempting any repair.
The engine oil will
be
severely degraded. Repair
the cause
of
coolant loss, change the
oil
and reset
the oil life indicator. See “Engine Oil, When to
Change” in the Index.
