IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

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 trans-

mission in NEUTRAL, but do not increase the
engine idle speed while preventing vehicle
motion with the brakes.
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.
