5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■ Overheating
In the following situations, your vehicle may be overheating.
● The engine coolant temperature gauge enters the red zone or a loss of power is
experienced.
● Steam is coming from under the hood.
■ To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
● Keep hands and clothing away from the fan and engine drive belt while the
engine is running.
● Do not loosen the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are hot.
Serious injury, such as burns, may result from hot coolant and steam released
under pressure.
Add coolant if required.
Water can be used in an emer-
gency measure if coolant is
una
vailable. (P. 502)
Have the vehicle checked at your nearest Lexus dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
