We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur.
Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature
gauge reads HOT (H), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the
air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If
the pointer remains on HOT (H), and you hear continuous chimes, turn the
engine off immediately and call for service.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam
from your radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not
open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a
cooling system pressure cap when the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.
AUTOMATIC TR ANSMISSION OVERHEA TING
During sustained high speed driving or trailer towing up long grades on hot days,
the automatic transmission oil may become too hot.
When the transmission overheat warning light
turns on, you will experience
reduced performance until the automatic transmission cools down. Once the
transmission has cooled down and the light turns off, you may continue to drive
normally. If the high speed is maintained, the overheating will continue to occur.
If the overheating continues, it may become necessary to stop the vehicle and run
the engine at idle with the transmission in NEUTRAL until the light turns off.
