  under the hood yourself, see “Servicing And Maintenance.”
• Follow the warnings under the Cooling System Pressure Cap paragraph.

CAUTION!

• Driving with a hot engine cooling system could damage your vehicle.
• If the temperature gauge reads “H,” pull over and stop the vehicle.
• Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range.
• If the pointer remains on the “H,” turn the engine off immediately and call an authorized dealer for service.
