Digital Clock

The digital clock displays the time
with the ignition switch ON (II).
To set the clock:1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II)
to display the time.

2. To
set the hour, turn the knob

toward H (counterclockwise) and
hold it until the hour advances to
the desired time.

3. To
set the minutes, turn the

knob toward M (clockwise) and
hold it until the numbers advance
to the desired time.

You ca
n
use the same knob to
quickly set the time to the nearest
hour. If the displayed time is before
the half hour, pressing the knob
sets the clock back to the previous
hour. If the displayed time is after
the half hour, pressing the knob
sets the clock forward to the
beginning of the next hour.
For example: 1:06 would RESET backward to
1:00. 1:52 would RESET forward to

2:00.

If Your Engine Overheats

6. Look for any obvious coolant
leaks, such as a split radiator
hose. Everything is still extreme-
ly hot, so use caution. If you find
a leak, it must be repaired before
you continue driving (see
Towing on page 202 ).

7. If
you don't find an obvious leak,

check the coolant level in the
radiator reserve tank (see page
139). If the level is below the
MIN mark, add coolant to half-
way between the MIN and MAX
marks.

8. I f
there was no coolant in the
reserve tank, you may also have
to add coolant to the radiator. Let the engine cool down until
the temperature gauge registers
below the midpoint, or lower,
before checking the radiator. 9. Using gloves or a large heavy

cloth, turn the radiator cap
counterclockwise, without
pushing down, to the first stop.
This releases any remaining
pressure in the cooling system.
After the pressure releases, push down on the cap and turn it until
it comes off.

10.Start th e
engine and set the

heater control lever to maximum.
Add coolant to the radiator up to
the base of the filler neck. If you
do not have the proper coolant
mixture available, you can add
plain water. Remember to have
the cooling system drained and
refilled with the proper mixture as soon as you can.

11.Put the radiato
r cap back on

tightly. Run the engine and
watch the temperature gauge. If
it illuminates the red marker
again, the engine needs repair.
(See Towing on page
202.)

12.If th e
temperature stays normal,
check the coolant level in the
radiator reserve tank. If it has
gone down, add coolant to the MAX mark. Put the cap back on

tightly.

Taking Care of the Unexpected
Removing the radiator cap
while the engine is hot can
cause the coolant to spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before
removing the radiator cap.ProCarManuals.comMain Menu Table of Contents s t
