Overheating

Overheating may happen in ANY of the following situations. Follow the directions to reduce the probability:

• On highways - lower road speed
• Up hills - lower transmission gear
• In city traffic - when stopped, put transmission in neutral and idle engine at normal idle speed.*
• Air conditioner - turn air conditioner off temporarily.
• Driving lights - turn driving lights off temporarily.

*Increasing the engine idle speed on the Shelby Dakota DOES NOT reduce coolant temperature! Put transmission in neutral and let engine idle at normal engine idle speed.
