Engine Overheating
You will find a coolant temperature gage and a warning
light about a hot engine on your instrument panel.
See
“Engine Coolant Temperature Gage” and “Engine
Coolant Temperature Warning Light” in the Index. You
also have a LOW COOLANT light on your instrument
panel.
See
“Low Coolant 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
opening 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.
