ENGINE COOLANT
Your cooling system may temporarily overheat during severe operating
conditions, such as:
• climbing a long hill
on
a hot day,
• stopping after high speed driving,
• idling for long periods
in
traffic, or
• towing a trailer.
If the hot light comes on (or the coolant temperature gage needle goes
into the warning zone) and your air conditioner
is
on, turn
it
off.
If
the
hot light (or gage) comes on while stopped
in
traffic, place the
transmission shift lever
in
Neutral
("N").
.
If the hot light doesn't go off (or the temperature gage needle doesn't
start to drop) within a minute or two:
• pull over to a safe place and stop the car. Set the parking brake and
shift to
"Park"
(with manual transmission, shift to Neutral and set
the parking brake).
• Don't turn
off
the
~ngine.
Increase the engine idle speed until it
sounds like it's going about twice as fast as normal idle speed. Bring
the idle speed back to normal after two or three minutes.
If the hot light still doesn't go off (or the temperature needle doesn't start
to drop),
now
turn
off
tbe engine and proceed asfollows:
• Lift the engine hood. Look
at
the coolant level
in
the "see through"
coolant recovery tank. The coolant level should be
at
or above the
"Full"
("Hot")
mark
on the tank.
If
the coolant appears to be
"boiling," wait until it stops before proceeding further.
(It
should
not
be
necessary to remove the radiator cap to check the coolant
level, and it can
be
dangerous
if
the engine
is
still hot. See Caution
below.)
