Transmission oil temperature is 284°F (140°C) or
higher: If the transmission oil temperature increases to
over 284°F (140°C), the color of the meter display
changes to red. However, the vehicle can continue to
be driven until the temperature reaches 295°F
(146°C). If the oil temperature exceeds 284°F (140°C)
while driving, (the color of the meter displayed in red),
change both the transmission oil and differential oil
after driving because these fluids have deteriorated
because of the heat.

Cool Down

Cool down the vehicle to help extend the life of the vehicle
if coolant temperatures are extremely high. Drive the ve-
hicle at 37 to 50 MPH (60 to 80 km/h), in 5th or 6th gear
for 2 to 3 miles (3 to 5 km) and then stop the engine.

Refueling Precautions

WARNING: Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank
after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, re-
sulting in fuel spray and possibly a fire. The fuel
tank is full at the first automatic shutoff.

To maximize vehicle performance, the fuel tank is located
as low as possible to lower the vehicle center of gravity.
The tank is also divided into two parts. This fuel tank
design causes higher pressures inside the tank than other
vehicles so fuel spillage is possible by trying to top off the
fuel tank after automatic shutoff.

The fuel tank pressure is higher when the vehicle is hot,
especially if the tank is more than half full. If the fuel cap is
opened when the vehicle is hot, it may cause fuel spray
and there may be a hissing noise. Open the cap slowly,
releasing the pressure from the tank gradually. Also if the
vehicle is refueled when the vehicle is hot, the fuel pump
may automatically shut off before the tank is full. This does
not indicate that there is a malfunction. Refuel slowly or
refuel after the vehicle has cooled.

INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENTS BEFORE PER-
FORMANCE DRIVING

Fluids

* Check the engine, transmission, differential and under
the vehicle for oil and coolant leaks.

* Check the fluid levels and adjust as necessary using the
specified fluid as described under the conditions listed in
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND MAINTENANCE IN-
TERVAL.
