TAPPET NOISE
[ST10875( M)06/90]
It is normal for the oil to drain down from the
hydraulic tappets in your engine during
extended shutdown periods (overnight). As a
result, these tappets may clatter for a few
seconds after the engine starts until oil pressure
builds up. This momentary start-up noise is
normal and is not harmful to engine operation.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
*
[LG11201( ALL)03/95]
This gauge tells you the temperature of the
engine coolant, not the coolant level. If the
coolant is not at its proper level or mixture, the
gauge indicator will not be accurate.
*
[LG11301( ALL)02/95]
The pointer moves from the C (cold) mark into
the Normal band as the engine coolant warms
up. It is acceptable for the pointer to fluctuate
within the Normal band under normal driving
conditions. Under certain driving conditions,
such as heavy stop and go traffic or driving up
hills in hot weather, the pointer may indicate at
the top of the Normal band.
*
[LG11401( ALL)05/95]
If, under any circumstances, the pointer moves
above the NORMAL band, the engine coolant is
overheating and continued operation may cause
engine damage.
*
[LG11501( ALL)01/95]
If your engine coolant overheats:
*
[LG11601( ALL)03/95]
1. Pull off the road as soon as it is safely
possible.
*
[LG11701( ALL)03/95]
2. Turn off the engine. If you do not stop the
engine as soon as safely possible, severe
engine damage could result.
*
[LG11801( ALL)05/95]
3. Let the engine cool.DO NOT REMOVE
COOLANT SYSTEM FILL CAP UNTIL
THE ENGINE IS COOL.
*
[LG11901( ALL)04/95]
4. Check the coolant level following the
instructions on checking and adding coolant
to your engine, seeEngine Coolantin the
Index. If you do not follow these
instructions, you or others could be injured.

NOTE: Idling the engine for extended periods
will accumulate more hours of use on
your vehicles than is actually indicated
by the mileage odometer.
Consequently, the odometer reading
can be often misleading when
determining the right time to change
your engine oil and filter.

Engine Coolant

[SV17400( ALL)02/95]
Checking the engine coolant
*
[SV17700( ALL)10/89]
Your vehicle's engine coolant protects the engine
from overheating in the summer and from
freezing in the winter. Check the level of the
engine coolant at least once a month, but
preferably each time you stop for fuel. Simply
look at the engine coolant recovery reservoir
located in the engine compartment. To locate
this reservoir, see the diagram of your vehicle's
engine underEngine typesin this chapter.
