Troubleshooting guide

C. DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS

Keep your speed within safe limits. Avoid continuous use of the brakes.

Brakes can overheat from extended use. When descending a steep hill, it may be

necessary to downshift to avoid riding the brakes. (Also refer to the section on the

transmission)

If the engine should overheat, take the following steps:

1. Pull off the road, turn off the dash air conditioner, but leave the engine running.

Shift into (P)ark and turn the heater on and set the temperature to maximum

heat. Increase the RPMs moderately. The temperature should go down.

2. Do not shut the engine off. Do not remove the radiator cap until absolutely

necessary, and then ONLY when the engine is cool.

3. If the engine does not cool off or you think that there is no fluid in the radiator,

shut the engine off.

4. Do not add any fluid to the radiator when the engine is overheated. This

may cause the engine block to crack. Let the engine cool down before adding

fluid, and let the engine run while you do so. (See the section below on Oil

and Other Engine Fluids for instructions on removing radiator cap.)
