Engine Overheating
You will find a coolant temperature gage
on
your
Oldsmobile’s instrument panel. See “Engine Coolant
Temperature Gage” in the Index.
You
will also find a
low coolant level warning light on your Oldsmobile’s
instrument panel. See “Low Coolant Warning Light”
in the Index.
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.
I
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.
