If Your Engine Overheats

Taking Care of the Unexpected

Continuing to ride with an overheated
engine can cause serious engine damage.

A steaming engine indicates a coolant
leak. Shut the engine off and wait until
the steaming stops. Look for a leak, but
don’t touch the engine or radiator
system. Let everything cool off first.

Normally, the coolant temperature on your
temperature meter will rise and then level
off. Hot weather may cause the
temperature to rise higher than normal. So
will temporary stress such as climbing a
hill. If you’re stuck in stop-and-go traffic,
the temperature may climb some, but the
radiator fan is designed to prevent
overheating. Be aware of these variations
as you monitor the meter.

If there’s no obvious problem, leave the
engine on so the fan and coolant
circulating system can continue
working. Monitor the temperature meter.
The temperature may drop to the
normal range after a brief stop with no
load on the engine.

If the high coolant temperature indicator
comes on, and the coolant temperature
meter displays five segments for no
apparent reason, pull safely to the side of
the road. If possible, park in a shady area.
