3. Ensure funnel is inserted fully to hold flapper doors
open.
4. Pour fuel into funnel opening.
5. Remove funnel from filler pipe, clean off prior to
putting back in the spare tire storage area.
WARNING!
•
Never 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 fire 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.
Potential signs of vehicle overheating can be:
•
Temperature gauge is at HOT (H)
•
Strong smell of coolant
•
White smoke coming from engine or exhaust
•
Coolant bottle coolant has bubbles present
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot engine cool-
ant (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.
If the temperature gauge is moving towards or close to
the HOT (H) position, the following actions will reduce
the potential for overheating.
•
On highways — slow down.
•
In city traffic — while stopped, place the transmis-
sion in NEUTRAL (N), but do not increase the engine
idle speed while preventing vehicle motion with the
brakes.
•
Turn off the A/C. The A/C system adds heat to the
engine cooling system and turning the A/C off can
help remove this heat.
•
Turn the temperature 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.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your
vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads HOT (H), as
soon as it’s safe, 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.
MANUAL PARK RELEASE
WARNING!
You should be seated in the driver’s seat with your
foot firmly placed on the brake pedal to maintain con-
trol of the vehicle before activating the Manual Park
Release. If possible, you should apply the parking
brake. Activating the Manual Park Release will allow
your vehicle to roll away if it is not secured or properly
connected to a tow vehicle. Activating the Manual
Park Release on an unsecured vehicle could lead to
serious injury or death for those in or around the
vehicle.
To move the vehicle in cases where the transmission
will not shift out of PARK (P) (such as a depleted bat-
tery), a Manual Park Release is available.
