Engine Overheating
You
will find a coolant temperature gage on your
vehicle's instrument panel. See "Gages" 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.

NOTICE:
I
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.
