What you should know about fail-safe cooling

If the engine coolant supply is depleted, this feature allows the vehicle to

be driven temporarily before incremental component damage is incurred.

The “fail-safe” distance depends on ambient temperatures, vehicle load

and terrain.

How fail-safe cooling works

• Standard cluster

• Optional cluster

If the engine begins to overheat:

• The engine coolant temperature gauge will move to the H (hot) area

(if your vehicle is equipped with analog gauges).

• The engine coolant temperature gauge will illuminate all eight bars

and a tone will sound every five seconds for one minute (if your

vehicle is equipped with digital gauges).

• The Check Engine indicator light will illuminate.

If the engine reaches a preset over-temperature condition, the engine

will automatically switch to alternating cylinder operation. Each disabled

cylinder acts as an air pump and cools the engine.

When this occurs the vehicle will still operate. However:

• The engine power will be limited.
