FAIL-SAFE COOLING
WHAT IS FAIL-SAFE COOLING
Fail-safe cooling allows you to temporarilydrive your vehicle before any incrementalcomponent damage occurs due tooverheating.
The fail-safe distance depends on outsidetemperature, vehicle load and terrain.

When this occurs, your vehicle still operates,however:
•Engine power is limited.
•The air conditioning system turns off.
Continued operation increases the enginetemperature, causing the engine tocompletely shut down. Your steering andbraking effort increases in this situation.
When the engine temperature cools, you canre-start the engine.
Note:Have your vehicle checked as soonas possible to minimize engine damage.
