Cooling System Tips — Automated Manual
Transmission

To reduce potential for engine and transmission over-

heating in high ambient temperature conditions, take the

following actions:
City Driving — When stopped, shift the transmis-

sion into NEUTRAL and increase engine idle

speed.

Highway Driving — Reduce your speed.
Up Steep Hills — Select a lower transmission gear.
Air Conditioning — Turn it off temporarily.

Do Not Operate The Engine With Low Oil
Pressure
If the low oil pressure warning light turns on while

driving, stop the vehicle and shut down the engine as

soon as possible. A chime will sound when the light turns

on.
NOTE:

Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is

corrected. This light does not show how much oil is in the

engine. The engine oil level must be checked under the

hood.

CAUTION!

If oil pressure falls to less than normal readings, shut
the engine off immediately. Failure to do so could
result in immediate and severe engine damage.
