PTLP will automatically reinstate normal engine operation if it
determines the engine temperatures have cooled sufficiently.

During an engine overheating condition, the instrument cluster will
display a message and a chime will sound. The engine may also have
temporarily reduced power and reduced rpm limit during an overheating
condition.

Operating the engine with high engine coolant temperature (coolant
gauge indicator is red) may cause powertrain damage. Stop the vehicle
as soon as safely possible, and let the engine cool off while idling.

FUEL FILTER

Your vehicle is equipped with a lifetime fuel filter that is integrated with
the fuel tank. Regular maintenance or replacement is not needed.
