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 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.

MANUAL PARK RELEASE

WARNING!

Always secure your vehicle by fully apply-
ing the parking brake before activating the
Manual Park Release. In addition, you
should be seated in the driver’s seat with
your foot firmly on the brake pedal when
activating the Manual Park Release. Acti-
vating the Manual Park Release will allow
your vehicle to roll away if it is not secured
by the parking brake, or by proper connec-
tion 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 order to push or tow the vehicle in cases
where the transmission will not shift out of
PARK (such as a dead battery), a Manual
Park Release is available.

Follow these steps to use the Manual Park
Release:

1. Firmly apply the parking brake.

2. Remove the manual park release cover,

located above the gear selector, to access
the release tether strap.

3. Using a small screwdriver or similar tool,

fish the tether strap up through the open-
ing in the console base.
