If
Steam
Is
Coming
From
Your
Engine
A
CAUTION:
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
opening 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.
