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 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.
