Engine Overheating
This emergency operating mode allows the 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, a significant loss in power and engine performance will be noticed. The temperature gauge will indicate an overheat condition exists. Driving extended km (mi) 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 .
