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.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING
During sustained high speed driving or trailer towing up long grades on hot days, the
automatic transmission oil may become too hot.
When the transmission overheat warning light turns on, you will experience
reduced performance until the automatic transmission cools down. Once the trans-
mission has cooled down and the light turns off, you may continue to drive normally.
If the high speed is maintained, the overheating will continue to occur.
If the overheating continues, it may become necessary to stop the vehicle and run the
engine at idle with the transmission in NEUTRAL until the light turns off.
