Caution (Continued)
A loud knocking or pinging
noise.
Continued driving EVEN FOR A
SHORT TIME could cause engine
damage. Stop the vehicle as soon
as it is safe to do so and perform
the cooling system checks.
Danger
Do not open the bonnet if you can
see or hear steam or coolant
escaping from the engine
compartment. Scalding fluid and
steam can be blown out under
pressure which could cause
serious burns. Wait until no steam
or coolant can be seen or heard
before opening the bonnet.
(Continued)
Danger (Continued)
Do not remove the radiator cap if
the engine and radiator are still
hot. Scalding fluid and steam can
be blown out under pressure
which could cause serious burns.
Do not place hands near under
bonnet components as the
cooling fan may start working
unexpectedly even when the
engine is not running and the
ignition is turned off.
Cooling system checks
1. Leave the engine idling.
2. Ensure that the shift lever is in P
or neutral and apply the park
brake.
3. Exit the vehicle and audibly
check that the cooling fan is
working.
Vehicle Care
If the fan is working and the engine
temperature gauge needle has not
returned to its normal position within
a few minutes:
1. Turn the ignition off and remove
the key from the vehicle.
2. Check the air intake area in the
front bumper to ensure that it is
clear. See Air intake under
Exterior Care on page 10-62.
Warning
Take care when checking these
areas as they may still be hot.
3. Look for leaks at the radiator
hoses and connections, heater
hoses and connections, radiator
and water pump.
4. If you do not find anything
wrong, check the engine coolant
level. See Engine Coolant on
page 10-9.
5. DO NOT run the engine until any
problems have been corrected.
