Problem
The engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge indicator is at the
"H" (hot) position.
Steam comes out of the engine
compartment.
The vehicle is stuck in sand,
mud, or snow.
WARNING
!
When attempting to rock your vehicle out of a stuck position, be sure that no one is near the vehicle. The rocking
motion may cause the vehicle to suddenly lurch forward or backward, possibly injuring bystanders.
Avoid revving the engine or spinning the wheels. Prolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle may result in overheating
and transaxle failure.
If the vehicle remains stuck after several rocking attempts, have a towing service pull the vehicle out.

The engine is overheated.
Carefully stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Move the gearshift lever or selector lever rhythmically between 1st and Reverse gears
(for vehicles with manual transaxle) or "Sports mode" and "R" (REVERSE) positions
(for vehicles with automatic transaxle), while pressing lightly on the accelerator pedal.
