If You Have A Flat Tire; If No Steam Is Coming From Your Engine - Lexus GX470 2004 Repair Manual

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
B: If no steam is coming from your engine:
Leave the engine running and turn off the air conditioning.
Check the following.

D Is the engine drive belt O.K.?
CAUTION
D When the engine is running, keep hands and clothing
away from the moving fan and engine drive belt.
D Do not attempt to remove the radiator cap when the
engine and radiator are hot. Serious injury could
result from scalding hot fluid and steam blown out
under pressure.
If the cooling fan is not operating or the coolant is not in the
acceptable range, turn off the engine and call your Lexus
dealer.
If both conditions are O.K., after the engine coolant
temperature has cooled to normal, continue driving your
vehicle.
If the engine coolant temperature does not cool down, or your
vehicle overheats again, have it checked as soon as possible
by your Lexus dealer.
