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.

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.

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

WARNING!

(Continued)

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.

GEAR SELECTOR OVERRIDE

If a malfunction occurs and the gear selector cannot be

moved out of the PARK position, you can use the following

procedure to temporarily move the gear selector:
1. Turn the engine OFF.
2. Firmly apply the parking brake.
3. Using a small screwdriver or similar tool, remove the

gear selector override access cover (located to the right

of the gear selector).

4. Turn the ignition to the ACC or ON/RUN position, but

do not start the engine.
