3. Ensure funnel is inserted fully to hold flapper doors
open.
4. Pour fuel into funnel opening.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top
off” the fuel tank after filling.
5. Remove funnel from filler pipe, clean off prior to
putting back in the spare tire storage area.
6. Close the fuel door making sure the latch is
engaged by pushing on the center of the rear outer
edge.
WARNING!
● Ne
ver have any smoking materials lit in or near the
vehicle when the fuel door is open or the tank is
being filled.
● Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is
in violation of most countries regulations and may
cause the Malfunction Indicator Light to turn on.
● A f
ire may result if fuel is pumped into a portable
container that is inside of a vehicle. You could
be burned. Always place fuel containers on the
ground while filling.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
If the vehicle is overheating, it will need to be serviced
by an authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your
vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads “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 the
“H” and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine
off immediately and call for service.
In any of the following situations, you can reduce the
potential for overheating your engine by taking the
appropriate action.
● On the highways — slow down.
● In city traffic — while stopped, place the transmission
in NEUTRAL, but do not increase engine idle speed.
NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow down an
impending overheat condition:
● If your Air Conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C
system adds heat to the engine cooling system and
turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
● You can also turn the t
emperature control to
maximum heat, the mode control to floor and the
blower control to high. This allows the heater core
to act as a supplement to the radiator and aids in
removing heat from the engine cooling system.
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
no
t 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.
GEAR SELECTOR OVERRIDE
If a malfunction occurs, and the gear selector cannot
be moved out of the PARK position, you can use
the follo
wing procedure to temporarily move the gear
selector:
1. Turn the engine OFF.
2. Apply the park brake.
