If the overheating continues, it may become
necessary to stop the vehicle and run the
engine at idle with the transaxle in NEUTRAL
until the light turns off.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Transmission
Temperature Warning Light illuminated will
eventually cause severe transmission dam-
age or transmission failure.
WARNING!
In some circumstances a Transmission Tem-
perature Warning Light, under continued op-
eration, could cause the fluid to boil over,
come in contact with hot engine or exhaust
components and cause a fire.

17. Temperature Gauge
If the pointer rises to the H (red) mark, the
instrument cluster will sound a chime. 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 re-
mains on the H (red) mark, turn the engine off
immediately and call for service.
There are steps that you can take to slow down
an impending overheat condition. If your air
conditioning is on, turn it off. The air condition-
ing system adds heat to the engine cooling
system and turning off the A/C removes 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.
18. Cruise Indicator — If Equipped
This indicator shows that the Elec-
tronic Speed Control System is
ON.
