13-8 Useful advice for emergencies
2Repair
Check the mechanical failure and if you judge it
readily repairable, fix it while paying attention to the
traffic. If you are unable to repair it, call an autho-
rized dealer for help.
CAUTION
• Be sure to stop the engine only after letting it
run at a speed slightly above the idling RPM
until the coolant cools down. Turning off the
engine immediately after stopping will cause
the coolant temperature to rise quickly and
may cause the engine to seize up.
• Suddenly pouring cold water into the radia-
tor could make the engine crack. Supply
cold water a little at a time.
NOTE:
• When the multi-information display shows
in amber, the coolant temperature is abnormally
high. The vehicle can still be driven.
• When the multi-information display shows
in red and the warning lamp is on, the
coolant temperature is more higher. The engine
power is limited, but the vehicle can still be
driven.
WARNING
Never attempt to perform repairs on an
expressway or in a tunnel as doing so is very
dangerous.
If the engine overheats
WARNING
Never remove the pressure cap while the cool-
ant is still hot. Carelessly removing it is dan-
gerous since boiling coolant and hot steam
will gush out and could scald you. Only after
the coolant has cooled down sufficiently,
remove the pressure cap by gripping it in a
folded piece of thick cloth and opening it
slowly.
