IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

178

If frequent jump starting is required to start your
vehicle, you should have the battery and charging
system inspected at an authorized dealer.
BUMP STARTING
Never jump start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill.

NOTE:
You cannot start a vehicle with an automatic
transmission by pushing it.
IF YOUR ENGINE
OVERHEATS
Engine overheating may occur in situations of
extreme environmental temperatures, frequent
engine stops/starts, or driving in heavy traffic. If
the engine becomes overheated, the Engine
Temperature Warning Light in the instrument
cluster will illuminate along with a dedicated
message

Ú
page 70.If the vehicle is overheating, it will need to be
serviced by an authorized dealer.
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 the
transmission in NEUTRAL, but do not increase
engine idle speed.

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 engine
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 supplement to the
radiator and aids in removing heat from the
engine cooling system.
If Steam Is Coming From The Engine
Compartment
Do not go near the front of the vehicle. Stop the
engine. Wait until the steam dissipates. Then,
open the hood and start the engine.
If Neither Coolant Nor Steam Is Escaping
Open the hood and idle the engine until it cools.

NOTE:

If the cooling fan does not operate while the
engine is running, the engine temperature will
increase. Stop the engine and contact an
authorized dealer.
If the engine continues to overheat or
frequently overheats, have the cooling system
inspected. The engine could be seriously
damaged unless repairs are made. Contact an
authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power
outlets draw power from the vehicle’s battery,
even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones,
etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long enough
without engine operation, the vehicle’s battery
will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery
life and/or prevent the engine from starting.
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 temperature gauge
reads “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 the “H”, turn
the engine off immediately, and call for
service.
