IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS

If the vehicle is overheating, it will need to be
serviced by an authorized dealer.
Potential signs of vehicle overheating can be:
Temperature gauge is at HOT (H)

Strong smell of coolant

White smoke coming from engine or exhaust

Coolant bottle coolant has bubbles present

In the event it is observed that the temperature
gauge is moving towards or close to the HOT (H)
position, you can reduce the potential for
overheating by taking the appropriate action.
On the highways — slow down.

In city traffic — while stopped, place the trans-

mission in NEUTRAL (N), but do not increase the
engine idle speed while preventing vehicle
motion with the brakes.
If your Air Conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off.

The A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling
system and turning the A/C off can help remove
this heat.
