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.
NOTICE:
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. See “Overheated
Engine Protection Operating Mode” in the Index.
