If Steam Is Coming From The Engine Compart-
ment:
Do not go near the front of the vehicle. Stop
th
e engine. Wait until the steam dissipates,
then open the hood and start the engine.
If Neither Coolant Nor Steam Is Escaping:
Open the hood and idle the engine until it
co
ols.
NOTE:
If the cooling fan does not operate while
the engine is running, the engine tempera-
ture will increase. Stop the engine and
c
o
ntact an authorized dealer.
If the engine continues to overheat or
frequently overheats, have the cooling
system inspected. The engine could be
seriously damaged unless repairs are
made. Contact an authorized dealer.
TOWING THE VEHICLE
Attaching The Tow Eyes — If Equipped
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If temperature gauge
reads “H”, 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 the “H”, turn the engine off
immediately, and call for service.
WARNING!
Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with
tow eyes.
Do not use a chain with a tow eye. Chains
may break, causing serious injury or
death.
Do not use a tow strap with a tow eye.
Tow straps may break or become disen-
gaged, causing serious injury or death.
Failure to follow proper tow eye usage
may cause components to break
resulting in serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
The tow eye must be used exclusively for
roadside assistance operations. Only use
the tow eye with an appropriate device in
accordance with the highway code (a
rigid bar or rope) to flat tow the vehicle
for a short distance to the nearest service
location.
Tow eyes MUST NOT be used to tow
vehicles off the road or where there are
obstacles.
In compliance with the above condi-
tions, towing with a tow eye must take
pl
ace with two vehicles (one towing, the
other towed) aligned as much as possible
along the same center line. Damage to
your vehicle may occur if these guide
-
lines are not followed.
When towing, only use a facility that can
tow vehicles with low ground clearances
as extensive damage can result by using
a standard tow truck platform.
