At this time, you may notice your engine coolant temperature gauge

needle move toward the H and the POWER REDUCED TO LOWER

TEMP message may appear on the message center.

You may notice a reduction in the vehicle’s speed caused by reduced

engine power. Your vehicle has been designed to enter this mode if

certain high temperature/high load conditions take place in order to

manage the engine’s fluid temperatures. The amount of speed reduction

will depend on the vehicle loading, towing, grade, ambient temperature,

and other factors. If this occurs, there is no need to pull off the road.

The vehicle can continue to be driven while this message is active.

The air conditioning may also cycle on and off during severe operating

conditions to protect overheating of the engine. When the engine coolant

temperature decreases to a more normal operating temperature, the air

conditioning will turn on once again.

If you notice any of the following:

•

the engine coolant temperature gauge moves fully into the red (hot) area

• the coolant temperature warning light illuminates

• the service engine soon indicator illuminates

Pull off the road as soon as safely possible and place the vehicle in P

(Park).

2. Leave the engine running until the coolant temperature gauge needle

moves away from the H range. After several minutes, if this does not

happen, follow the remaining steps.

3. Turn the engine off and wait for it to cool before checking the coolant

level.

WARNING: Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the

engine is running or hot.

4. If the coolant level is normal, you may restart your engine and

continue on.

5. If the coolant is low, add coolant, restart the engine and take your

vehicle to an authorized dealer. See Adding engine coolant in this

chapter for more information.

Refer to fail-safe cooling for additional information.
