If Your Engine Overheats
10. Start the engine and set the
climate control to FULL AUTO at
90°F (32°C). Add coolant up to
the MAX line on the expansion
tank. If you do not have the proper
coolant mixture available, you can
add plain water. Remember to
have the cooling system drained
and refilled with the proper
mixture as soon as you can.
11. Put the expansion tank cap back
on tightly. Run the engine and
watch the temperature gauge. If it
goes back to the red mark, the
engine needs repair. (See
Emergency Towing
on page 267 .)
12. If the temperature stays normal,
check the coolant level in the
expansion tank. If it has gone
down, add coolant to the MAX
mark. Put the expansion tank cap
back on tightly.
