CRUISE CONTROL (OPTION) • With the engine fan switch in the AUTOMATIC position, the engine fan will automatically turn on when the engine coolant reaches a temperature of about 200°F (93°C) WARNING! Do not work on or near the fan with the engine running. Anyone near the engine fan when it turns on could be killed or seriously injured. If it is set at MANUAL, the fan will turn on any time the ignition key switch is turned to the ON position. In AUTO, it could engage suddenly without warning. Before turning on the ignition or switching from AUTO to MANUAL, be sure no workers are near the fan. CAUTION: The fan or equipment near it could be damaged if the fan turns on suddenly when you do not expect it. Keep all tools and equipment away from the fan. NOTE: Do not operate the engine fan in the MAN- UAL position for extended periods of time. The fan hub was designed for intermittent operation. Sustained operation will shorten the fan hub's service life as well as reduce fuel economy.
