WARNING: When a wheel is installed, always remove any
corrosion, dirt or foreign materials present on the mounting
surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub, brake
drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Ensure that any
fasteners that attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they
do not interfere with the mounting surfaces of the wheel.
Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at the
wheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen
and the wheel to come off while the vehicle is in motion,
resulting in loss of control.

Note: If there is corrosion on the area where the wheel contacts the
hub, apply a thin film of grease or anti-seize compound on that area.

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.

If steam is coming from the engine compartment: do not go near

the front of the vehicle. Stop the engine, then turn the ignition switch
to the ON position without starting the engine. The radiator cooling
fans will start to cool the engine.

If neither coolant nor steam is escaping: open the hood and idle

the engine until it cools. If this does not lower the temperature, stop
the engine and let it cool.

5. Check the coolant level. If it is low, look for leaks in the radiator

hoses and connections, heater hoses and connections, radiator and
water pump.
