The car is overheated

If the coolant thermometer for the engine
indicates overheated, or there is power
loss, loud knocking, or noisy bang, that
means the engine may be overheated.
Please handle it as per the procedures
below:
1. Drive the car away from the road,
park it, and turn on the emergency
flashlight. Set the transmission in the
neutral position, and apply the parking
brake. Stop using the air conditioning
if it is running.
2. If there is coolant or steam spouting
out of the radiator or expansion tank,
please shut down the engine until it is
cooled down . If no coolant or steam
is spouting, just keep the engine
running and make sure the cooling fan
is working. If not, please turn off the
ignition switch.
