Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
*
[LG06500(ALL)03/95]
This gauge indicates the temperature of the
engine coolant, not the coolant level. If the
coolant is not at its proper level or mixture, the
gauge indication will not be accurate.
*
[LG06600(ALL)03/94]
The pointer usually moves from C (cold) into
the NORMAL band as your vehicle warms up.
Under most driving conditions, the pointer
should stay in the NORMAL band. If you are
driving in heavy traffic or on an extended grade
in hot weather, the pointer may reach to the top
of the NORMAL band.
*
[LG06700(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.
*
[LG06800(ALL)01/95]
If your engine coolant overheats:
*
[LG06900(ALL)03/95]
1. Pull off the road as soon as it is safely
possible.
*
[LG07000(ALL)04/95]
2. Shut off the engine immediately or severe
engine damage could result.
*
[LG07100(ALL)05/95]
3. Let the engine cool.
*
[LG07200(ALL)03/95]
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.

The heater in your vehicle has three controls
used for air direction, temperature and fan
speed. The function selector control lets you
direct heated or unheated air through the
instrument panel registers, or down to the floor.
It also allows you to vent your vehicle with
outside air.

and the side window defoggers only.
[IP01900(ALL)04/95]
With the function selector control in the MIX
position, air is directed out the defrosters, side
defoggers and the floor heater outlets.

[IP06950(ALL)01/95]
Sometimes you may notice slight engine surging
if you have the air conditioner on. This is
normal, as the system is designed to cycle the
compressor on and off to maintain desired
cooling. The reduced compressor operation
should benefit fuel economy.
*
[IP07000(ALL)01/95]
On some vehicles with air conditioning,
wide-open throttle acceleration will temporarily
cut off the air conditioning.
*
[IP07050(ALL)01/95]
Since the air conditioner removes a lot of
moisture from the air during operation, it is
normal for water to drip on the pavement under
the air conditioner drain after you have stopped
the vehicle.
[IP07150(ALL)08/91]
Action for heating and windshield defrosting are
identical for cars equipped with either the
Heating Only Systemor theHeating and Air
Conditioning System. For instructions about these
functions, see the previous section,Heating Only
System. For instructions about using the air
conditioning, see the following sections.
[IP07350(ALL)01/95]
MAX A/C
[IP07360(ALL)01/95]
When MAX A/C is selected, cooled interior air
is recirculated through the system. This position
is more efficient than NORM A/C.
*
[IP07375(ALL)09/93]
To cool your vehicle quickly in warm weather:
[IP07400(ALL)08/91]
1. Turn the function selector control to MAX
A/C.
[IP07450(ALL)08/91]
2. Turn the temperature control to the blue
(cool) area.
[IP07475(ALL)08/91]
3. Set the fan at the desired speed.
*
[IP07500(ALL)09/93]
If the inside of your vehicle is very warm,
drive for a few minutes with the windows
down. This forces most of the hot, stale air
out of the vehicle and helps the air
conditioning cool the vehicle faster.
