Engine Overheating
You will find a coolant temperature gage and a low
coolant level warning light on your vehicle’s instrument
panel. See
Engine Coolant Temperature Gage on
page

and
Low Coolant Warning Light on page

If
Steam
Is
Coming
From
Your
Engine
Steam from an overheated engine can
burn
you badly, even
if
you just open the hood.
Stay away
from
the
engine if you see or hear
steam coming from
it.
Just turn
it
off
and get
everyone away from the vehicle
until
it
cools
down. Wait until there is no sign of steam or
coolant before you open the hood.
If you keep driving when your engine
is
overheated, the liquids in
it
can catch fire.
You or others could be badly burned. Stop
your engine if
it
overheats, and get out of the
vehicle until the engine
is
cool.
Nofice:
If
your engine catches fire because you
keep driving with no coolant, your vehicle can
be badly damaged. The costly repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.
