When the engine coolant is still
hot, do not remove the radiator
cap. Hot vapor will come out and
you may be scalded. Add engine
coolant only when the engine
coolant temperature has dropped.
If this light comes on and stays on
while you are driving, your engine
coolant might have overheated
and your engine may be too hot.
You should pull off the road, stop
your vehicle and take appropriate
actions for engine overheating.
