With current trends in automotive styles and design, it is

essential that the correct towing equipment is used to

tow a vehicle. Your vehicle can be towed with wheel lift

or car carrier equipment. Don’t have your vehicle towed

on the drive wheels, unless you must. If the vehicle must

be towed on the drive wheels, do not tow it more than

500 cumulative miles (800 km) or exceed 50 mph

(80 km/h). If these limitations must be exceeded, then

the drive wheels have to be supported on a dolly.

Consult your dealer or a professional towing service if

you need to have your vehicle towed. See “Roadside

Assistance” in the Index.

Engine Overheating

You will find a coolant temperature gage and a warning

light about a hot engine on your instrument panel. See

“Engine Coolant Temperature Gage” and “Hot Coolant

Temperature” in the Index. You also have a low coolant

light on your instrument panel. See “Low Coolant

Level” in the Index.

Overheated Engine Protection

Operating Mode

This emergency operating mode allows your vehicle

to be driven to a safe place in an emergency situation.

Should an overheated engine condition exist, an

overheat protection mode which alternates firing groups

of cylinders helps prevent engine damage. In this mode,

you will notice a significant loss in power and engine

performance. The low coolant light may come on and

the temperature gage will indicate an overheat condition

exists. Towing a trailer in the overheat protection mode

should be avoided.

NOTICE:

After driving in the overheated engine protection

operating mode, to avoid engine damage, allow

the engine to cool before attempting any repair.

The engine oil will be severely degraded. Repair

the cause of coolant loss and change the oil.

See “Engine Oil” in the Index.
