CAUTION!

Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature

gauge reads HOT (H), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air

conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the

pointer remains on HOT (H), and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off

immediately and call for service.

WARNING!

You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from

your radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not open the

hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling system

pressure cap when the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.

JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING

WARNING!

• Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic.

Pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when operating the

jack or changing the wheel.

• Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the jack

and fall on you. You could be crushed. Never get any part of your body under a

vehicle that is on a jack. If you need to get under a raised vehicle, take it to a

service center where it can be raised on a lift.

• The jack is designed to use as a tool for changing tires only. The jack should not

be used to lift the vehicle for service purposes. The vehicle should be jacked on a

firm, level surface only. Avoid ice or slippery areas.

• If it is necessary to retrieve the spare tire from under the vehicle on the side of the

vehicle close to moving traffic, pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of

being hit.
