Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine This feature prevents the engine from operating at too
many revolutions per minute (rprn). When the engine’s
rpm are critically high, the fuel supply to the engine
is shut
off. When the engine speed slows, the fuel
supply will come on again. This helps prevent damage
to the engine.
This part describes the warning lights and gages that
may be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you
locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is
wrong before
it becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair
or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also save
you or
others from injury. Warning
lights come
on when there may be or is a
problem with
one of your vehicle’s functions. As you
will see in
the details on the next few pages. some
warning lights come on briefly when
you start the
engine just
to let you know they‘re working. If’ ~OLI
are familiar with this section. you should IWI he
alarmed when this happens.
Gages can indicate when there
may bc or is ;: prohlcn;
with one of your vehicle‘s functions. Oftcn pgch and
warning lights work together to let you kno~, ~,hw
there‘s a problem with your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes
on and stays on
when you are driving, or when one of the gages shows
there may be a problem, check the section that tells
you what to do about it Please follow this manual’s
advice. Waiting
to do repairs can be costly -- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights
and gages. They’re a big help.
Your vehicle also has a Driver Information Center that
works along with the warning lights and gages. See
“Driver Information Center” later
in this section.

The cooling s stem in your vehicle is filled with
DEX-COOL engine coolant. This coolant
is designed
to remain in your vehicle for 5 years or 150,000 miles
(240 000 km), whichever occurs first, if you add only
DEX-COOL" extended
life coolant.
8
The following explains your cooling system and how
to add coolant when it is low. If you have a problem
with engine overheating, see "Engine Overheating"
in the Index.
A 50/50 mixture of water and DEX-COOL"
coolant will:
0 Give freezing protection down to -34°F (-37°C).
c
F
Give boiling protection up to 265°F (129°C).
0 Protect against rust and corrosion.
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
Let the warning lights and gages work as they
should.
NOTICE:
When adding coolant, it is important that you
use only
DEX-COOL@ (silicate-free) coolant.
If coolant other than DEX-COOL@' is added to
the system, premature engine, heater core or
radiator corrosion may result. In addition, the
engine coolant will require change sooner
-- at
30,000 miles (50 000 km) or 24 months,
whichever occurs first. Damage caused by the use
of coolant other than DEX-COOL@ is not
covered
by your new vehicle warranty.
Use a mixture of one-half cEean wccfer (preferably
distilled) and one-half DEX-COOL'" coolant which
won't damage aluminum parts.
If you use this mixture,
you don't need to add anything else.
