EMERGENCY SERVICE

80J21-03E

If the temperature indication does not
return to the normal condition:

1) Turn off the engine and check that the

water pump belt and pulleys are not
damaged or slipping. If any abnormality
is found, correct it.

2) Check the coolant level in the reservoir.

If it is found to be lower than the “LOW”
line, look for leaks at the radiator, water
pump and radiator and heater hoses. If
you locate any leaks that may have
caused the overheating, do not run the
engine until these problems have been
corrected.

3) If you do not find a leak, carefully add

coolant to the reservoir and then the
radiator, if necessary. (Refer to “Engine
Coolant” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section.)

If You Can Not Shift
Automatic Transaxle
Gearshift Lever Out of “P”
(PARK)

62J083

Vehicles with an automatic transaxle have
an electrically operated park-lock feature.
If the vehicle’s battery is discharged, or
there is some other electrical failure, the
automatic transaxle cannot be shifted out
of Park in the normal way. Jump starting
may correct the condition. If not, follow the
procedure described below. This proce-
dure will permit changing the transaxle out
of Park.

1) Be sure the parking brake is firmly

applied.

2) If the engine is running, stop the

engine.

WARNING

• It is hazardous to remove the radia-

tor cap when the water temperature
is high, because scalding fluid and
steam may be blown out under
pressure. The cap should only be
taken off when the coolant temper-
ature has lowered.

• To prevent personal injury, keep

hands, tools and clothing away
from the engine cooling fan and air-
conditioner fan (if equipped). These
electric fans can automatically turn
on without warning.
