Overheated Engine Protection
Should a low coolant condition exist and the message
STOP ENGINE ENGINE OVERHEATED is displayed,
an overheat protection mode which alternates firing
groups
of four cylinders helps prevent engine damage.
In this mode, you will notice a loss in power and engine
performance.
This operating mode allows your vehicle
to be driven to
a safe place in an emergency; you may
drive up to
50 miles (80 km). Towing a trailer in the
overheat protection mode
should be avoided.
NOTICE:
After driving in the overheated engine protection
operating mode, to avoid engine damage, allow the engine to cool before attempting
any repair.
The engine
oil will be severely degraded. Repair
the cause of coolant loss, change the
oil and reset
the
oil life indicator. See “Engine Oil, When to
Change” in the Index.
