IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
D030A02TB-EAT
If the temperature gauge indicates over-
heating:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic) or neutral (manual
transaxle) and set the parking brake.
If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car
or steam is coming out from under
the bonnet stop the engine. Do not
open the bonnet until the coolant has
stopped running or the steaming has
stopped. If there is no visible loss of
coolant and no steam, leave the
engine running and check to be sure
the engine cooling fan is operating.
If the fan is not running, turn the
engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive
belt is broken. If it is not broken,
check to see that it is tight.
If the drive belt seems to be satisfac-
tory, check for coolant leaking from
the radiator, hoses or under the car.
(If the air conditioning had been in
use, it is normal for cold water to be
draining from it).
4. Connect the red jump cable to the
positive (+) terminal of the booster
battery and the other end to the
positive (+) terminal of the discharged
battery.
5. Attach the black jump cable to the
negative (-) terminal of the booster
battery, and the other end to a ground
point within the engine compartment
of the vehicle with the flat battery. Do
not connect to the negative battery
terminal of the flat battery since
sparks may be generated with the
subsequent risk of explosion.
6. Raise the booster vehicle engine
speed to 2,000 r.p.m. and start the
engine of the vehicle with the flat
battery.
7. Switch "ON" the main beam
headlamps before carefully remov-
ing the jumper cables in the reverse
order of attachment. Once the jumper
cables have been removed, switch
"OFF" the main beam headlamps.
CAUTION:
If the jump cables are incorrectly
installed, damage to the vehicle elec-
trical system may occur, in particu-
lar the electronic components such
as the Fuel Injection system com-
puter and the Automatic Transaxle
computer. The battery must never be
disconnected whilst the engine is
running.
