Radiator Pressure Cap

Notice: The radiator cap on your vehicle is a

pressure-type cap and must be tightly installed to

prevent coolant loss and possible engine damage

from overheating. Be sure the arrows on the cap

line up with the overﬂow tube on the radiator

ﬁller neck.

The radiator pressure cap is located in the front of the

engine compartment on the passenger’s side, near

the diagonal cross brace. See Engine Compartment

Overview on page 5-12 for more information on location.

Engine Overheating

You will ﬁnd a coolant temperature gage and a warning

message about a hot engine on your instrument

panel cluster. See Engine Coolant Temperature Gage

on page 3-38 and Hot Coolant Temperature Warning

Message on page 3-45.

Overheated Engine Protection

Operating Mode

This emergency operating mode allows your vehicle to

be driven to a safe place in an emergency situation.

If an overheated engine condition exists, 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. Driving extended miles (km) and/or

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, change the oil and reset the

oil life system. See Engine Oil on page 5-18.
