OVERHEATING
If the temperature gauge indicates overheating and you experience
power loss, you hear a loud knocking or pinging noise, the engine is
probably too hot.
If this happens: 1. Drive safely to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way.
2. Shift the automatic transmission into P (Park) or the manual transmission into the neutral position, and apply the parking brake.
3. Turn off the air conditioner.
WARNING: Steam from an overheated engine is dangerous. The
escaping steam could seriously burn you. Open the hood ONLY
after steam is no longer escaping from the engine.
4. Check whether coolant or steam is escaping from under the hood or from the engine compartment.

7. Remove the dipstick and inspectthe fluid level. Level should be
in the cross-hatched area.
8. If necessary, add fluid in 250ml (1/2 pint) increments through
the filler tube until the level is
correct at normal operating
temperatures. Refer to the Lubricant Specificationssection in this
chapter for the correct fluid type.
• The use of any other non-approved fluid may cause internal
transmission damage.
• DO NOT ADD fluid until the transmission is at normal operating
temperatures or the transmission will be overfilled.
Low fluid level
Do not drive the vehicle if the fluid
level is at or below the bottom of
the dipstick.
High fluid level
Fluid levels above the safe range
may cause overheating, shift and/or
engagement concerns and internal
transmission damage. If an overfill
condition occurs, excess fluid should
be removed by a qualified technician.
