Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A CAUTION:
You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine parts.
Coolant contains ethylene glycol and
it will burn if the engine
parts are hot enough. Don’t spill coolant on a hot engine. \
When the coolant in the coolant recovery tank is at or above “FULL
COLD,” start your vehicle.
If the overheat warning continues, there’s one more thing you can try.
You can add the proper coolant mix directly to the radiator, but be sure
the cooling system is cool before you do it.

An electric fan under the hood can start up even when the
engine
is not running and can injure you. Keep hands, clothing
and tools
away from any underhood electric fan.
If the coolant inside the coolant surge tank is boiling, don’t do anything
else until it cools
down.
The coolant level
should be at or above
“FULL COLD.” If it
isn’t,
you may have a
leak in the radiator
hoses, heater hoses,
radiator, water pump
or somewhere else in
the cooling
system.
A CAUTION:
Heater and radiator hoses, and other engine parts, can be very
hot. Don’t touch them.
If you do, you can be burned.
Don’t
run the engine if there is a leak If you run the engine, it
could lose
all coolant. That could cause an engine fire, and you
could be burned. Get any leak fixed before you drive the vehicle.

the coolant
surge
tank.
5. Start the engine and as the engine runs the coolant will circulate
through the cooling system. Any air that was introduced while adding
coolant
will purge itself and rise to the top of the surge tank. If the
“ENGINE COOLANT
LOW” message does not appear on the
Driver Information Center, coolant is at the proper
fill level. If an
“ENGINE
COOLANT LOW” message does appear, repeat steps 1
through 4 or see your dealer.
IFA TIRE GOES FLAT
It’s unusual for a tire to “blow out” while you’re driving, especially if you
maintain your tires properly. If air goes out of a tire, it’s much more likely
to leak out slowly. But if you should ever have a “blowout,” here are a
few tips about what to expect and what
to do:
If a front tire fails, the flat tire will create a drag that pulls the vehicle
toward that side. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal and grip the
steering
wheel firmly. Steer to maintain lane position, then gently brake
to a stop
well out of the traffic lane.
A rear blowout, particularly on a curve, acts much like a skid and may
require the same correction you’d use in a skid. In any rear blowout,
remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. Get the
vehicle under
control by steering the way you want the vehicle to
go. It may be very
bumpy and noisy, but you can still steer. Gently brake to a stop,
well off
the road if possible.

FOR BEST FUEL ECONOMY AND COLD STARTING, SELECT THE LOWEST
SAE VISCOSITY GRADE OIL FOR THE EXPECTED TEMPERATURE RANGE.
HOT
WEAntER
SAE 1OW-30
As shown in the viscosity chart, SAE 1OW-30 is best for your vehicle.
However,
you can use SAE 5W-30 if it's going to be colder than 60°F
(16 C) before your next oil change. When it's very cold, below 0 * F
(-18OC), you should use SAE 5W-30.
These numbers
on an oil container show its viscosity, or thickness. Do not
use other viscosity oils such as
SAE 1OW-40 or SAE 2OW-50.

Oils with these words on the container will help you save fuel.
