If the cooling system frequently
requires coolant, have it checked by
your dealer.
Changing Engine Coolant
A dealer can change the engine
coolant. The service procedure can
be found in the service manual. See
Service Publications Ordering
Information on page 13-11.
Improper servicing can result in
reduced heater performance and
engine overheating.
{Warning
.To avoid the danger of being
scalded, never change the
coolant when the engine
is hot.
.Never remove the radiator or
engine coolant reservoir cap
when the engine is hot.
Serious burns could be
caused by high pressure fluid
escaping from the radiator.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Avoid direct skin contact with
used coolant. If skin contact
is made, wash thoroughly
with soap or hand cleaner as
soon as possible.
.Keep coolant out of the reach
of children and pets.
Engine coolant must be disposed of
properly. Check your local
regulations.
Engine Overheating
The vehicle has an engine coolant
temperature warning light on the
instrument cluster to warn of engine
overheating. See Engine Coolant
Temperature Warning Light on
page 5-17.
If the decision is made not to lift the
hood when this warning appears,
but instead get service help right
away, see Roadside Assistance
Program on page 13-5. If the decision is made to lift the
hood, make sure the vehicle is
parked on a level surface.
Then check to see if the engine
cooling fans are running. If the
engine is overheating, the fans
should be running. If they are not,
do not continue to run the engine
and have the vehicle serviced.
See if the engine cooling fan speed
increases when idle speed is
doubled by pushing the accelerator
pedal down. If it does not, the
vehicle needs service. Turn off the
engine.{Caution
Running the engine without
coolant may cause damage or a
fire. Vehicle damage would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.

If Steam is Coming from the
Engine Compartment
{Warning
Steam from an overheated engine
can burn you badly, even if you
just open the hood. Stay away
from the engine if you see or hear
steam coming from it. Just turn it
off and get everyone away from
the vehicle until it cools down.
Wait until there is no sign of
steam or coolant before you open
the hood.
If you keep driving when the
engine is overheated, the liquids
in it can catch fire. You or others
could be badly burned. Stop the
engine if it overheats, and get out
of the vehicle until the engine
is cool.
Overheated Engine
Protection
Operating Mode
The engine has an engine
protection mode to reduce the
chance of damage if the coolant
temperature goes too high (for
example, when climbing steep
grades in high temperature with
heavy loads, such as when towing a
trailer). When the engine
temperature reaches a certain level:
.The engine coolant temperature
warning light will illuminate.
.Engine power may be reduced.
.The air conditioning cooling
function may be automatically
turned OFF for a short time (the
blower will continue to operate).
Engine power and under certain
conditions, vehicle speed will
decrease. Vehicle speed can be
controlled with the accelerator
pedal, but the vehicle may not
accelerate at the desired speed. The transmission will downshift or
upshift as it reaches prescribed shift
points. You can also shift manually.
As driving conditions change and
engine coolant temperature is
reduced, vehicle speed can be
increased using the accelerator
pedal, and air conditioning cooling
function will automatically be turned
back ON.
If:
1. The engine coolant temperature
is not reduced.
2. The air conditioning cooling function does not turn back ON.
3. The engine oil pressure low/ engine coolant temperature high
warning light illuminates, this
may indicate a malfunction.
Move the vehicle off the road in
a safe area and allow the engine
to cool. If after checking the oil
and coolant, the oil pressure
low/engine coolant temperature

high warning light remains on,
do not continue to drive, call
your dealer.
The malfunction indicator light (MIL)
may also come ON. If only it
remains on, you do not need to
have the vehicle towed, but have it
inspected soon by your dealer. For
additional information, see
Malfunction Indicator Lamp on
page 5-11.
Washer Fluid
What to Use
When the vehicle needs windshield
washer fluid, read the
manufacturer's instructions before
use. If operating the vehicle in an
area where the temperature may fall
below freezing, use a fluid that has
sufficient protection against
freezing.
Adding Washer Fluid
Open the cap with the washer
symbol on it. Add washer fluid until
the reservoir is full. See Engine
Compartment Overview on
page 10-7 for reservoir location.
{Caution
.Do not use engine coolant
(antifreeze) in the windshield
washer. It can damage the
windshield washer system
and paint.
.Do not mix water with
ready-to-use washer fluid.
Water can cause the solution
to freeze and damage the
washer fluid tank and other
parts of the washer system.
.When using concentrated
washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer instructions for
adding water.
.Fill the washer fluid tank only
three-quarters full when it is
very cold. This allows for fluid
expansion if freezing occurs,
which could damage the tank
if it is completely full.

(6) Load Range:Load Range.
(7) Service Description
:The
service description indicates the
load index and speed rating of a
tire. If two numbers are given as
in the example, 120/116, then
this represents the load index for
single versus dual wheel usage
(single/dual). The speed rating is
the maximum speed a tire is
certified to carry a load. This
does not apply to Goodyear
LT225/75R16 G949 RSA and
Goodyear LT225/75R16 G933
RSD commercial truck tires; see
the dual tire and single tire
maximum load and load range
letter designations on the tire
sidewall.

:The tire bead contains
steel wires wrapped by steel
cords that hold the tire onto

:A pneumatic tire
in which the plies are laid at
