Section 5
■ ENGINE OVERHEATING
CAUTION
Steam from an overheated
engine can burn you badly.
Stay away from the engine if
you see or hear steam coming
from it.
CAUTION
Continued operation of an
overheated engine, even for a
short time, may result in a fire
and the possibility of personal
injury and/or severe vehicle
damage.
This could lead to costly repairs
not covered by your warranty.
See "Overheat Protection
Mode" later in this section for
information.
The engine coolant temperature
gage shows the engine coolant
temperature. If the pointer reaches
the top of the gage, the engine is
too hot!
An overheat warning message
may appear in the driver
information center display.
See "Driver Information Center
Messages" in Section 1 for more
information.
If you see or hear steam coming
from the engine, stop and turn the
engine off. Do not open the hood
until the engine has cooled down.
If you get the overheat warning
with no sign of steam:
1. Turn off your air conditioner
and turn on the heater at high
speed.
2. If you're in a traffic jam, shift
to N (Neutral).
