Engine Overheating - GMC 2003 Safari Owner's Manual

Engine Overheating
You will find an engine coolant temperature gage on
your vehicle's instrument panel. See Engine Coolant
Temperature Gage on page 3-30;
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: 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.
