IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS

• In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by taking

the appropriate action.

• On the highways — slow down.

• In city traffic — while stopped, shift transmission into NEUTRAL, but do not increase

engine idle speed.

NOTE: There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat condition:

• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine

cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.

• You can also turn the Temperature Control to maximum heat, the Mode Control to floor

and the Fan Control to high. This allows the heater core to act as a supplement to the

radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling system.

• If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately.

• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the

vehicle serviced immediately.

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge

reads HOT (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

HOT (H), and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off immediately, and call for

service.

WARNING!

You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your

radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until

the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when

the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.

Engine Oil Overheating — 2.4L Gas

• On hot days the engine oil temperature may become too hot during sustained

high-speed driving or if towing a trailer up long grades. If this happens, a HOTOIL

message will flash in the odometer and the vehicle speed will be reduced to 48 mph

(77 km/h) maximum until the engine oil temperature is reduced.

NOTE: Although the maximum vehicle speed is reduced to 48 mph (77 km/h), you may

reduce vehicle speed further as needed. Once the engine oil temperature is reduced, you may

continue to drive normally.
