Overheat Protection Mode
If you still have the overheat
warning, the engine has a feature
whereby it alternates firing groups
of cylinders to minimize engine
damage and to allow you to drive
your vehicle to the nearest service
center. You will notice a significant
loss in power and engine perfor-
mance.
Avoid driving an extended
distance and/or towing a trailer
while driving in this mode.
NOTICE
After driving in this mode, allow
the engine to cool before
attempting any repairs. Once
cool, repair the cause of coolant
loss and change the oil.
Checking and Adding
Coolant
CAUTION
Steam and scalding liquids from
a hot cooling system can blow
out and burn you badly. Never
turn the cap when the engine
and cooling system are hot.
CAUTION
• Do not substitute any liquids
for the proper coolant mix-
ture. The engine could catch
on fire and you or others
could be burned.
Under some conditions the
ethylene glycol in engine
coolant is combustible. To
avoid being burned,
do not
spill coolant on the exhaust
system or on hot engine parts.
If you have any doubt, have this
operation performed by a
qualified technician.
