Engine Overheating - Subaru 1998 Legacy Owner's Manual

Hazard warning flasher
Day or night, if your vehicle becomes a traffic hazard, use the hazard
warning flasher. Avoid stopping on the road. It is best to safely pull off
the road if a problem occurs. The hazard warning flasher can be acti-
vated regardless of the ignition switch position.
Turn on the hazard warning by pushing the hazard warning flasher
switch. Turn it off by pushing the switch again.

Engine overheating

WARNING
Never attempt to remove the radiator cap until the engine has
been shut off and has fully cooled down. When the engine is hot,
the coolant is under pressure. Removing the cap while the engine
is still hot could release a spray of boiling hot coolant, which
could burn you very seriously.
If the engine overheats, safely pull off the road and stop the vehicle in a
safe place.
J If steam is coming from the engine compartment
Turn the engine off and get everyone away from the vehicle until it cools
down.
