{CAUTION:

You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot

engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol,

and it will burn if the engine parts are hot

enough. Do not spill coolant on a hot engine.

When replacing the pressure cap, make sure it is

hand-tight and fully seated.

Coolant Surge Tank Pressure Cap

Notice: If the pressure cap is not tightly installed,

coolant loss and possible engine damage may

occur. Be sure the cap is properly and tightly

secured.

If you need to replace your coolant surge tank pressure

cap, see your retailer.

Engine Overheating

There is a coolant temperature warning light on your

vehicle’s instrument panel. See Engine Coolant

Temperature Warning Light on page 3-35.

If Steam Is Coming From Your Engine

{CAUTION:

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.

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.
