STARTING AND OPERATING 267 CAUTION! If oil pressure falls to less than normal readings, shut the engine off immediately. Failure to do so could result in immediate and severe engine damage. Do Not Operate The Engine With Failed Parts Practically all failures give some warning before the parts fail. Be on the alert for changes in performance, sounds, and visual evidence that the engine requires service. Some important clues are: • engine misfiring or vibrating severely • sudden loss of power • unusual engine noises • fuel, oil or coolant leaks • sudden change, outside the normal operating range, in the engine operating temperature • excessive smoke • oil pressure drop TRANSMISSION SHIFTING Automatic Transmission with Overdrive- If Equipped The gear shift selector display, located in the instrument panel cluster, indicates the transmission gear range (the selector is illuminated for night driving).
