injury and severe vehicle
damage. Take immediate action
as outlined.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
If you see or hear escaping steam
or have any other reason to suspect
there is a serious overheat
condition, stop and park the vehicle
as soon as it is safe to do so, turn
on the hazard warning flasher and
then turn off the engine immediately
and safely exit the vehicle.
If Steam Is Not Coming from the
Engine Compartment
If the engine coolant temperature
gauge shows an overheat condition,
or you have reason to suspect the
engine may be overheating, take
the following steps:
1. Operate the hazard warning
flasher and pull the vehicle
immediately over to a safe
place that does not impede
traffic and park it.
2. If there's no sign of steam,
push the accelerator pedal until
the engine speed is about
twice as fast as normal idle
speed. Bring the engine speed
back to normal idle after 2 or
3 minutes. Idle the engine and
wait until the engine coolant
temperature drops to safety
zone. If your air conditioner is
on, turn it off. And turn on the
heater to help the engine
expel heat.
3. When the needle of the engine
coolant temperature gauge
returns to the middle of the
safety zone, stop the engine.
If the needle of engine coolant
temperature gauge does not
drop inside into the safety
zone, turn the engine off and
have your vehicle serviced at
the nearest dealer.
When the cooling fan for the
radiator is not turning, turn off
the engine immediately.
