What type of information is sent
when I call the Emergency Service
Operator from my vehicle?
Certain vehicle information, such as
VIN of the model, is transmitted along
with the last known GPS location. Also
note that emergency service operators
may record conversations and sounds
within your vehicle once a connection
is made, and that by using the service
you consent to having this information
shared.
When should I use the SOS Emergency
Call Button?
You can use the emergency button
to make a call if you or someone else
needs emergency assistance.
Engine Overheating
To reduce potentially overheating
of the engine in city traffic, while
stationary, place the transmission in
N (Neutral), but do not increase the
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 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 the engine. If the
temperature gauge is positioned
on the red zone “H” (refer to “TFT
Display Areas" in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”) and the
red warning light comes on, pull
over and stop the vehicle. Idle the
vehicle with the air conditioner turned
off until the temperature gauge drops
back into the normal range. If the
temperature gauge remains on the red
zone “H” and the red warning
light stays on, turn the engine off
immediately and contact the Service
Network.
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 it until the radiator
has had time to cool. Never try to
open a coolant bottle pressure cap
(refer to "Maintenance Procedures"
in section "Maintenance and Care")
when the radiator is overheated.
