Connecting a Battery Charger

To connect a battery charger, first made sure the engine is switched off. Disconnect the positive (+) lead
from the battery. Never disconnect the battery while the engine is running or alternator damage could result.
Connect the positive "+" (red) lead of the charger to the positive "+" terminal on the battery. Next, connect
the negative "-" (black) lead of the charger to a suitable ground. Finally, plug in or switch on the charger.
To disconnect the charger after charging, unplug the charger from the electrical outlets, remove the charger
leads from the vehicle, and reconnect the vehicle leads to the battery.

ENGINE OVERHEAT

If you see or hear steam escaping from the radiator or the engine compartment or have any other reason to
suspect an extreme engine over-heating condition, pull the vehicle over to the roadside as soon as it is safe
to do so, stop the engine and get out of the vehicle.
Operating a vehicle under a severe overheating condition can result in damage to the vehicle and
may result in personal injury.
An engine will overheat if the coolant is low or there is a loss of coolant because of one or more of the
following:
 a leak in the cooling system
 a hose failure
 a drive belt breaking
 water pump failure
Also, be aware of the following situations, which can cause temporary engine overheating:
 climbing a long hill on a hot day
 idling while stopped in traffic for long periods of time
 towing a trailer or automobile
 stopping after a period of high speed driving
If the TEMP indicator on the instrument panel shows a rise in engine coolant temperature while driving, take
the following steps to attempt to lower the overheating condition:
 If you are using the automotive air conditioner, turn it off.
 If you are stopped in traffic, shift the transmission into P (Park), and engage parking brake.
