SYMPTOM and ACTION
(See P r e l i m i n a r y FIRST)
Symptom Action
Blinking Engine Temperature Normal during temporary operation with heavy load, towing a trailer, high outdoor temperatures,
Warning Light Or High Gauge and/or on~a steep grade.
Indication-Without Coolant
Loss
Coolant Loss Improper refilling procedures can result in trapped air in the system. Subsequent operation of the
pressure cap and coolant reserve system will deaereate the cooling system. A low coolant level
will then result in the Coolant Reserve Tank. Add coolant. If condition persists refer to System
Diagnosis.
Hot Vehicle (Not Engine) Check heat shielding, exhaust system, engine emission controls, ignition timing, engine misfiring.
Heat Damage, Hot Carpet,
Seat, Hot Catalytic
Converter, Smoke,
Burnt Odor
Hot Engine A moderate amount of sound from heating metal can be expected with any vehicle. However, a
Crackling Noise crackling sound from the thermostat housing, a hot smell and/or severe local hot spots on an
Hot Smell engine can indicate blocked coolant passages, bad casting, core sand deposits and subsequent
Severe Local Hot Spots blockage, cracked cylinder block or head, or blown cylinder head gasket. Usually accompanied
with coolant loss.
Coolant Color Coolant color is not necessarily an indication of adequate temperature or corrosion protection.
Coolant Reserve Bottle Level changes are to be expected as coolant volume fluctuates with engine temperature. If the
Level Changes level in the bottle is between the Maximum and Minimum marks at normal engine operating tem-
perature, the level should return to within that range after operation at elevated temperatures.
Coolant Not Returning Coolant will not return to the radiator if the radiator cap vent valve does not function, if an air leak
To Radiator destroys vacuum, or if the overflow passage is blocked or restricted. Inspect all portions of the
overflow passage, pressure cap, filler neck nipple, hose, and passages within the bottle for vac-
uum leak only. Coolant return failure will be evident by a low level in the radiator. Reserve bottle
level should increase during heat-up.

The t u r n signals are actuated w i t h a lever on the

tentions to change direction o f travel, he moves the
lever u p w a r d to cause the r i g h t signals to flash and
downward to cause the left signals t o flash. (Fig. 1).

CONSTRUCTION
BIAS-PLY TIRES
Bias-ply tires (Fig. 1) have plies o f cords t h a t ex-
t e n d a t a n angle f r o m bead-to-bead across the center
l i n e o f the tread. The even n u m b e r plies (i.e., second,
f o u r t h , s i x t h , etc.) cross t h e odd n u m b e r plies (i.e.,
first, t h i r d , fifth, etc.) a t 90 degree angles.
RADIAL-PLY TIRES
Radial-ply tires (Fig. 1) have belts under the tread

shoulder-to-tread shoulder. Radial-ply t i r e s are also
constructed w i t h t h e carcass cord plies a t a r i g h t an-
gle (perpendicular) t o t h e tread centerline (Fig. 1).
The cord plies cross the centerline a t a n angle o f ap-
proximately 90 degrees. Because t h e carcass cord
plies radiate f r o m t h e centerline o f the tread, t h i s
type of t i r e carcass design was designated radial-ply.
