21BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM
CAUTION:
If overheating should occur when towing, (temperature gauge reads near red zone), taking the followingaction may reduce or eliminate the problem.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Reduce highway speed.
3. Select a lower gear when going uphill.
4. While in stop and go traffic, place
the gear selection in park or neu-tral and idle the engine at a higher speed.
! E090A01P-GAT (Diesel Motor) The fuel system should be bled to remove air as described in the illustra- tion if the fuel supply is exhaustedduring travel, when the fuel filter is replaced, or if the vehicle is not used for a long time.
1. Loosen the air plug at the top of the
fuel filter. E090A01P
13.Avoid holding the brake pedal down
too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, re- sulting in reduced braking efficiency.
14.When going down a hill, shift into a
lower gear and use the engine brak-ing effect. When ascending a long grade, downshift the transmissionto a lower gear and reduce speed to reduce chances of engine over- loading and/or overheating.
15.If you have to stop while going uphill, do not hold the vehicle inplace by pressing on the accelera-tor. This can cause the automatic transmission to overheat. Use the parking brake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing, check transmission fluid more frequently.

25IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
CAUTION:
o Do not allow the jumper cable clips to touch one another.
o Do not connect the jumper cable
to the negative terminal of the flat battery. The battery generates explosive gas, and a spark caused whenthe jumper cable is disconnected from the negative terminal could ignite this gas and cause an ex-plosion.
o Be careful that the jumper cable
becomes not caught in the cool-ing fan, etc.
! D030A02TB-AAT If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knock- ing and the engine is probably too hot.If this happens to you, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic transmission), or neutral (manual transmission) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out un- der the car or steam is coming outfrom the hood, stop the engine. Donot open the hood until the engine coolant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is novisible loss of engine coolant and no steam, leave the engine running and check to be sure the enginecooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.
the other end to the engine block of the vehicle with the flat batteryat the point farthest from the battery.
8. Start engine as described "Starting the engine" in section 3.
9. After the engine is started, discon- nect the cables in the reverse order.
1. Both batteries must be 12V. The
capacity (Ah) of the battery supply- ing current should not be signifi- cantly below that of the discharged battery.
2. Use only heavy-duty jumper cables.
3. A discharged battery can freeze. A
frozen battery must be thawed out before connecting the jumper cables.
4. There should be no contact be-
tween the two vehicles; otherwisecurrent may flow when the positive terminal is connected.
5. The discharged battery must be correctly connected to the vehicleelectrical system.
6. Run the engine of the vehicle sup- plying current.
7. Connect the jumper cables as fol-
lows:
(1) Connect one end of one jumper cable to the positive terminal of the flat battery, and the other end to the positive terminal of the booster battery.
(2) Connect one end of the other jumper cable to the negative ter-minal of the booster battery, and

4. Turn the radiator cap counterclock-
wise without pressing down on it, until it stops. This relieves any pres- sure remaining in the cooling sys- tem. And remove the radiator capby pushing down and turning coun- terclockwise. Now fill the radiator with clean dem- ineralized or distilled water. Con- tinue to add clean demineralized or distilled water in small quantitiesuntil the fluid level stays up in the radiator neck.
5. Start the engine, top off the radia- tor with water and then add engine coolant to the reservoir until thelevel is between "L" and "F".
6. Replace the radiator and reservoir caps and check to be sure thedrain cocks are fully closed and not leaking. WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by
engine coolant temperature andmay sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Useextreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotat-ing fan blade. As the engine cool- ant temperature decreases, the fan will automatically shut off. This isa normal condition.
G050D02P-AAT To Change the Coolant The coolant should be changed at those intervals specified in the ve- hicle maintenance schedule in Sec- tion 6.
!
CAUTION:
Engine coolant can damage the finish of your car. If you spill en-gine coolant on the car, wash it off thoroughly with clean water.
1. Park the car on level ground, set the parking brake and remove the radia- tor cap when cool.
2. Be sure your drain receptacle is in
place. Open the drain cock on theradiator. Allow all the engine cool- ant to drain from the cooling sys- tem, then securely close the draincock.
3. Check Section 9 for the capacity of the cooling system in your car.Then, following the manufacturer's directions on the engine coolant container, add the appropriatequantity of coolant to the radiator.

TIRE
I150A04P-GAT Tire condition Check the tires for cuts, cracks and other damage. Replace the tires if there are deep cuts or cracks. Also check each tire for pieces of metal orpebbles.The use of worn tires can be verydangerous because of the greater chance of skidding or hydroplaning. The tread depth of the tires mustexceed 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) in order for the tires to meet the minimum re- quirement for use. If there are belt-line wear indicators on the tires, they will appear in six places on the surface of the tirethereby indicating that the tire no 1.6 mm (0.06 in.)

Drive belts should be checked periodi-
cally for proper tension and adjusted ifnecessary. At the same time, belts should be examined for cracks, wear, fraying or other evidence of deteriora-tion and replaced if necessary. Belt routing should also be checked to
be sure there is no interference be-tween the belts and other parts of the engine. After a belt is replaced, the new belt should be adjusted againafter two or three weeks to eliminate slack resulting from initial stretching after use.
NOTE: The drive belt tension for diesel
engine (2.5 CRDi only) is adjusted automatically.PARKING BRAKE LEVER STROKE
