EMERGENCY
IF YOUR ENGINE
OVERHEATS
If the vehicle is overheating, it will need to be
serviced by an authorized dealer.
Potential signs of vehicle overheating:
•
Temperature gauge is at HOT (H)
•
Strong smell of coolant
•
White smoke coming from engine or exhaust
•
Coolant in the reservoir bottle has bubbles
present
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your
radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from
under the hood, do not open the hood until the
radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open
a cooling system pressure cap when the radia-
tor or coolant bottle is hot.
If 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 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.
•
Turn off the Air Conditioner (A/C). The A/C
system adds heat to the engine cooling system
and turning the A/C off can help remove this
heat.
•
Turn the temperature control to maximum heat,
and the blower control to high. This allows the
heater core to act as a supplement to the
radiator and aids in removing heat from the
engine cooling system.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could dam-
age your vehicle. If the temperature gauge
reads H, pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the
vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until
the pointer drops back into the normal range. If
the pointer remains on the H and you hear con-
tinuous chimes, turn the engine off immediately
and call for service.
