NOTE:
Under certain conditions the engine fan will run
af
ter the engine is turned off. These conditions
are under high load and high temperature
conditions.
COOLING SYSTEM TIPS — AUTOMATIC
T
RANSMISSION
To reduce the potential for engine and
transmission overheating in high ambient
temperature conditions, take the following
actions:
City Driving — When stopped, shift the trans-
mission into NEUTRAL (N) and increase
en
gine idle speed.
Highway Driving — Reduce your speed.
Up Steep Hills — Select a lower transmission
gear.
Air Conditioning — Turn it off temporarily.

Do Not Operate The Engine With Low Oil
Pressure
If the low oil pressure warning light turns on
while driving, stop the vehicle and shut down
the engine as soon as possible. A chime will
sound when the light turns on.
NOTE:
Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is
co
rrected. This light does not show how much
oil is in the engine. The engine oil level must be
checked under the hood.
Do Not Operate The Engine With Failed
Parts
All engine failures give some warning before the
parts fail. Be on the alert for changes in
performance, sounds, and visual evidence that
the engine requires service. Some important
clues are:
Engine misfiring or vibrating severely
Sudden loss of power
Unusual engine noises
City Traffic Maximum GCWR 1.5
Highway Speeds Maximum GCWR 2.0
Uphill Grade Maximum GCWR Hot 2.5
Driving Condition Load Turbocharger Temperature
Idle Time (min.) Before Engine
Shutdown
CAUTION!
If oil pressure falls to less than normal
readings, shut the engine off immediately.
Failure to do so could result in immediate and
severe engine damage.
