Resetting The Light After Servicing

• Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (do not start engine).

• Fully depress the accelerator pedal three times within 10 seconds.

• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.

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, place the transmission in 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 blower 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.

CAUTION!

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

temperature gauge reads 240°F (116 °C) or greater pull over and stop the

vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer

drops back into the normal range 200–230°F (93–110°C). If the pointer

remains at 240°F (116°C) or greater and you hear a chime, 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.
