Problems on the Road
. . . 474
If the light stays on or the coolant
temperature gage still shows an
overheat condition, pull over, stop
and park your vehicle right away.
If there is still no sign of steam, run
the engine at idle speed for about
3 minutes.
If the overheat warning continues,
turn off the engine and get
everyone out of the vehicle right
away.
See "Overheat Protection Mode"
later in this section for
information.
CAUTION
The electric engine cooling fan
can start even if the engine is
not running. Be careful around
it.
If the coolant in the surge tank has
been boiling, do not touch it until
it has cooled down.
The vehicle should be parked on a
level surface.
If the engine compartment is
warm, the level should be at or
above the FROID/FULL COLD
mark. If the engine is cool the
level should be near the FROID/
FULL COLD mark.
If the coolant level is low, there
may be a leak in the cooling
system.
CAUTION
Engine parts may be very hot.
Do not touch them.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine if there is
a leak. All the coolant could leak
out and cause an engine fire.
You could be burned.
NOTICE
Running your engine without
coolant could cause engine
damage that wouldn’t be
covered by your warranty.
See "Overheat Protection
Mode" later in this section for
information.
If the coolant is leaking, have it
fixed immediately.
If the coolant is not leaking and
the engine coolant temperature
light is on, the engine cooling fans
should be running. If not, the fans
must be serviced.
