blades.
WARNING!
• Remove any metal jewelry such as rings,watch bands and bracelets that could
make an inadvertent electrical contact.
You could be seriously injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can
burn your skin or eyes and generate
hydrogen gas which is flammable and
explosive. Keep open flames or sparks
away from the battery.
NOTE:
Be sure that the disconnected ends of the
cables do not touch while still connected to
the either vehicle.
1. Set the parking brake, shift the automatic transmission into PARK and turn the igni-
tion to LOCK.

REFUELING IN EMERGENCY
The funnel for the Cap-Less Fuel System is
located in the spare tire storage area. If your
vehicle is out of fuel and an auxiliary fuel can
is needed, insert the funnel into the filler
neck and proceed to fill the vehicle.
For more information on the Cap-Less Fuel
System refer to “Refueling The Vehicle” in
“Starting And Operating ” in this manual.
IF YOUR ENGINE
OVERHEATS
In any of the following situations, you can
reduce the potential for overheating by taking
the appropriate action.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, place thetransmission in NEUTRAL, but do not in-
crease the engine idle speed while prevent-
ing vehicle motion with the brakes. NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow
down an impending overheat condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it
off. The A/C system adds heat to the en-
gine cooling system and turning the A/C
off can help remove this heat.
• You can also turn the temperature control to maximum heat, the mode control to
floor and the blower control to high. This
allows the heater core to act as a supple-
ment to the radiator and aids in removing
heat from the engine cooling system.WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from
your radiator. If you see or hear steam
coming from under the hood, do not open
the hood until the radiator has had time to
cool. Never try to open a cooling system
pressure cap when the radiator or coolant
bottle is hot.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If the temperature
gauge reads HOT (H), pull over and stop
the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the pointer
drops back into the normal range. If the
pointer remains on HOT (H), and you hear
continuous chimes, turn the engine off
immediately and call for service.
MANUAL PARK RELEASE
WARNING!
Always secure your vehicle by fully apply-
ing the parking brake, before activating
the Manual Park Release. Activating the
Manual Park Release will allow your ve-
hicle to roll away if it is not secured by the
parking brake or by proper connection to a
tow vehicle. Activating the Manual Park
Release on an unsecured vehicle could
lead to serious injury or death for those in
or around the vehicle.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
224

In order to move the vehicle in cases where
the transmission will not shift out of PARK
(such as a discharged battery), a Manual Park
Release is available.

snapping the cover away from the console
hinges. 3. Using a screwdriver or similar tool, push
the metal latch in towards the tether
strap.
4. While the metal latch is in the open posi- tion, simultaneously pull upwards on the
tether strap until the lever clicks and
latches in the released position. The
transmission is now out of PARK and the
vehicle can be moved.CAUTION!
Closing the armrest while the Manual Park
Release is activated may damage the
Manual Park Release mechanism, the
transmission, and/or the armrest.
NOTE:
To prevent the vehicle from rolling uninten-
tionally, firmly apply the parking brake.
