The high temperature indicator
should be off under most conditions.
If the engine coolant temperature
gets higher than normal, the
indicator will blink. If it stays on, you
should determine the reason (hot
day, driving up a steep hill, etc.).
Driving with the high temperature
indicator on can cause serious
damage to your engine.
You will also see the symbol ''
or this symbol with an ''ENGINE
TEMP. HIGH'' message on the
multi-information display.
If the vehicle overheats, you should
take immediate action. The only
indication may be the high
temperature indicator blinking or
remaining on. Or you may see steam
or spray coming from under the
bonnet.
Steam and spray from an
overheated engine can
seriously scald you.
Do not open the bonnet if
steam is coming out.

immediately. If it does, wait until
the high temperature indicator
goes off, then continue driving.
