clockwise.

8. Check the coolant level in
the engine coolant recovery
reservoir and fill it until the
level is at the top mark on
the dipstick cap.
Notice: If the pressure cap is
not tightly installed, coolant loss
and possible engine damage may
occur. Be sure the cap is properly
and tightly secured.

Engine Overheating

The vehicle has an indicator to warn
of engine overheating.
There is an engine coolant
temperature gauge on your
vehicle's instrument panel.
See Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge on page 5 10.
You may decide not to lift the hood
when this warning appears, but
instead get service help right away.
See Roadside Assistance Program
on page 13 5.
If you do decide to lift the hood,
make sure the vehicle is parked
on a level surface.
Then check to see if the engine
cooling fans are running. If the
engine is overheating, both fans
should be running. If they are not,
do not continue to run the engine
and have the vehicle serviced.
Notice: Engine damage from
running the engine without
coolant is not covered by the
warranty.
Notice: If the engine catches fire
because of being driven with no
coolant, the vehicle can be badly
damaged. The costly repairs
would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
