Excessive full throttle operation below peak torque RPM will shorten
engine life to overhaul and can cause serious engine damage. Operation
of the engine below peak torque RPM can occur during gear shifting due
to difference of gear ratios.
Engine shutdown system (if equipped)
This system is designed to help prevent engine damage that could result
from operating the engine during a prolonged period of low engine oil
pressure, high engine coolant temperature or low coolant level. If any of
these conditions occur, a warning light will illuminate and a chime will
sound warning the operator that the engine will shutdown in 30 seconds.
This is to allow time for the operator to move the vehicle off the road. If
additional time is required, the engine can be restarted and run each
time for approximately 30 seconds.
Do not attempt to use this restarting feature to drive the vehicle, serious
engine damage could result.
Exhaust fumes
Never idle the engine in closed areas. Never sit in a parked or
stopped vehicle for any amount of time with engine running.
If you ever smell exhaust fumes of any kind inside your vehicle,
have your dealer inspect and fix your vehicle immediately. Do
not drive if you smell exhaust fumes. These fumes are harmful and
could kill you.
In order to guard against fumes entering your vehicle, the exhaust
system and body ventilation system should be checked by a qualified
technician:
• Each time the vehicle is raised for service.
• Whenever a change in exhaust system noise is noted.
• Whenever the vehicle has been damaged by impact from another
vehicle, object or road obstruction.
In order to afford proper operation, all air inlet vents should be kept
clear of snow, leaves and other debris.
If you run the engine while stopped (idled) in an unconfined area, open
the windows at least 2.5 cm (one inch) and adjust the heating or air
conditioning to draw outside air into the vehicle as follows:
• If your vehicle has outside air control vents, open them fully.
