You must only drive your vehicle for a shortdistance if the engine overheats. Thedistance you can travel depends onambient temperature, vehicle load andterrain. The engine will continue to operatewith limited power for a short time.
If the engine temperature continues to rise,the fuel supply to the engine will reduce.The air conditioning will switch off and theengine cooling fan will operate continually.
1.Reduce your speed gradually and stopyour vehicle as soon as it is safe to doso.
2.Switch the engine off immediately toprevent severe engine damage.
3.Wait for the engine to cool down.
4.Check the coolant level. See EngineCoolant Check (page 247).
5.Have your vehicle checked by anauthorized dealer as soon as possible.
ECONOMICAL DRIVING
The following will help to improve fuelconsumption.
Tire Pressures
Check your tire pressures regularly tooptimize fuel economy. For best resultsuse the economy pressures. See TirePressures (page 273).
Gear Shifting
Use the highest drivable gear appropriatefor the road conditions.
