Notice: If you drive the vehicle
while the engine is overheating,
severe engine damage may
occur. If an overheat warning
appears on the instrument cluster
and/or DIC, stop the vehicle as
soon as possible. See Engine
Overheating on page 10 18.

conditioning compressor
automatically turns off. When the
coolant temperature returns to
normal, the air conditioning

If this message continues to appear,
have the system repaired by your

damage to the engine.
