DANGER
Do not open the bonnet if you can
see or hear steam or coolant
escaping from the engine
compartment. Scalding fluid and
steam can be blown out under
pre ssure, which could cause
serious burns. Wait until no steam
or coolant can be seen or heard
before opening the bonnet.
Do not remove the radiator c ap if
the engine and radiator are stil l
hot. Scalding fluid and steam can
be blown out under pressure,
which could cause serious burns.
Do not place hands near
under-bonnet components, as the
coo ling fan may start working
unexpectedly even when the
engine is not running and the
ignition is switched off.

remove the key.
2. Look for leaks at the radiator
