as well as a low coolant warning light, on your
vehicle’s instrument panel. See Engine Coolant
Temperature Gage on page 171 and Low Coolant
Warning Light on page 171 for more information.
Your vehicle also has a check gages warning light
on the instrument panel. See Check Gages
Warning Light on page 179 for more information.
If Steam Is Coming From Your Engine
{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.
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.
