WARNING
To reduce the chance of person-
al injury, vehicle damage and/or
death from overheated engines,
which can result in a fire, never
leave the engine idling without
an alert driver present. If the en-
gine should overheat, as indicat-
ed by the engine coolant temper-
ature light, immediate action is
required to correct the condition.
Continued unattended operation
of the engine, even for a short
time, may result in serious en-
gine damage or a fire. Failure to
comply may result in death, per-
sonal injury, equipment or prop-
erty damage.
WARNING
Removing the fill cap on a hot
engine can cause scalding cool-
ant to spray out and burn you
badly. If the engine has been in
operation within the previous 30
minutes, be very careful in re-
moving the fill cap. Protect face,
hands, and arms against escap-
ing fluid and steam by covering
the cap with a large, thick rag.
DO NOT try to remove it until the
surge tank cools down or if you
see any steam or coolant escap-
ing. In any situation, remove the
cap very slowly and carefully. Be
ready to back off if any steam or
coolant begins to escape.
NOTE
Keep the engine running at idle
speed unless a warning icon
turns on that requires the engine
to be shut off.
2. Check to ensure the Oil Pressure
Gauge reads normal.
3. Make sure the engine fan is turning
by switching the Engine Fan Switch
from AUTO to MAN (Manual).
4. Increase the engine speed to about
one-half of full operating speed, or
1,100 to 1,200 rpm, maximum for 2
or 3 minutes.
5. Return the engine speed to normal
idle. Monitor the engine temperature.
After the temperature returns to
normal, allow the engine to idle 3 to 5
minutes before shutting it off. This
allows the engine to cool gradually
and uniformly.
6. If overheating came from severe
operating conditions, the temperature
should have cooled by this time. If it
has not, stop the engine and let it
cool before checking to see if the
coolant is low.
7. Be sure the vehicle is parked on level
ground or the readings may be
incorrect. Check the coolant level at
the cooling module surge tank.
Check the coolant level after each trip
when the engine has cooled. The coolant
level should be visible within the surge
tank. Add coolant if necessary.
