NOTE:
Under certain conditions, the Stop/Start functionality
may be temporarily disabled and the engine fan will run
after the engine is turned off to protect the engine.
These conditions are under high load and high tem-
perature conditions.
COOLING SYSTEM TIPS —
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
To reduce the potential for engine and transmission
overheating in high ambient temperature conditions,
take the following actions:
•
City Driving — When stopped, shift the transmission
into NEUTRAL (N) and increase engine idle speed.
•
Highway Driving — Reduce your speed.
•
Up Steep Hills — Select a lower transmission gear.
•
Air Conditioning — Turn it off temporarily.
NOTE:
If the coolant temperature is too high, the A/C will
automatically turn off.
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. After the vehicle is safely stopped,
restart the engine and monitor the lamp. If the lamp is
still illuminated, shut the engine off, contact an autho-
rized dealer, and do not operate the vehicle until the
cause is corrected. If the lamp is no longer illuminated,
the engine can be operated, but should be taken to an
authorized dealer as soon as possible for further
inspection.
NOTE:
Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is corrected.
This light does not show how much oil is in the engine.
The engine oil level must be checked under the hood.
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.
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
•
Fuel, oil or coolant leaks
•
Sudden change, outside the normal operating
range, in the engine operating temperature
•
Excessive smoke
•
Oil pressure drop
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
— GASOLINE ENGINE (IF EQUIPPED)
A long break-in period is not required for the engine and
drivetrain (transmission and axle) in your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km).
After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or
55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the
limits of local traffic laws contributes to a good break-in.
Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be detri-
mental and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a
high-quality energy conserving type lubricant. Oil
changes should be consistent with anticipated climate
conditions under which vehicle operations will occur.
For the recommended viscosity and quality grades see
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in
the engine or damage may result.
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few
thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This should
be considered a normal part of the break-in and not
interpreted as a problem.
