Engine Overheating
You will find
a
coolant temperature gage on your
vehicle’s instrument panel.
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.
