ance drops noticeably as well as the water
temperature gauge indicates overheating;

WARNING
To help reduce the risk of burn or' seri­
ous bodily injury;
• Allow the engine to cool before
checking any component in the en­
gine compartment.
• Do not attempt to remove the radia­
tor cap when the engine and radia­
tor are still hot.

radiator fan blades when the engine
is running.
