Engine overheating
Do not open the bonnet while steam is
coming from the engine compartment. It
could cause steam or hot water to spurt
out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt
out even when there is no steam coming
out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.
Be careful of hot steam, which could be
blowing off the reserve tank cap.
Do not attempt to remove the radiator cap
and/or reserve tank cap while the engine is
hot.
*: Front of the vehicle
Be careful not to get your hands or clothes
caught in the cooling fan.
