Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light
This light tells you that your engine
coolant has overheated or your radiator
cooling fan is not working. If you have
been operating your vehicle under normal driving conditions, you should
pull
off the road, stop your vehicle and
turn the engine
off as soon as possible.

BADLY!

Engine Coolant Temperature
Gage
(OPTION)
If you have the gage cluster, you have a
gage that shows the engine coolant
temperature. If the gage pointer moves
into the red area, your engine is too hot!
That reading means the same thing as
the warning light. It means that your
engine coolant has overheated. If you
have been operating your vehicle under
normal driving conditions, you should
pull
off the road, stop your vehicle and
turn off the engine as soon as possible.

Low Coolant Warning Light
(v6 ENGINES)

hgine Overheating (CONT.)
If you no longer have the overheat
warning, you can drive. Just to be safe,
drive slower for about ten minutes.
If
the warning doesn’t come back on, you
can drive normally.
If the warning continues, pull over,
stop, and park your vehicle right away.
If there’s still
no sign of steam, you can
idle the engine for two or three minutes
while you’re parked, to see
if the
warning stops.
But then, if you still have the warning,
TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND GET
EVERYONE
OUT OF THE VEHICLE
until it cools down.
You may decide not to lift the hood but
to get service help right away.

When you decide it’s safe to lift the
hood, here’s what you’ll see:
(A) Coolant recovery tank
(B) Radiator pressure cap
(C) Electric engine fan
If the coolant inside the coolant
recovery tank is boiling, don’t do
anything else until it cools down.

The coolant level should be at or above
the
COLD mark.
If it isn’t, you may have a leak in the
radiator hoses, heater hoses, radiator,
water pump or somewhere else in the
cooling system.
Heater and radiator hoses,
L L and other engine parts, can
be very hot. Don’t touch them. If
you do, you can be burned.
Don’t run the engine
if there is a
leak. If you run the engine, it could
lose all coolant. That could cause
an engine fire, and you could be
burned. Get any leak fixed before
you drive the vehicle.
1 NOTlCE CAUTION
If you haven’t found a problem yet, but
the coolant level isn’t at or above
COLD, add a 50/50 mixture of clean
water
(preferably distilled) and a proper
antifreeze at the coolant recovery tank.
(See the
Index under Engine Coolant
for more information about the proper
coolant mix.)

A Adding only plain water to
your cooling system can be
Amgerous. Plain water, or some
~ .ler liquid like alcohol, can boil
before the proper coolant mix will.
Your vehicle’s coolant warning system is set for the proper coolant
mix. With plain water or the wrong
mix, your engine could get too hot
but you wouldn’t get the overheat
warning. Your engine could catch fire and you
or others could be
burned. Use a

A hiss means there is still some

the radiator filler neck may be lower.
If the level is lower, add more of the
proper mix through the filler neck
until the level reaches the base of the
