If the high temperature indicator
stays on, turn off the engine.
If you do not see steam or spray,
leave the engine running, and
check the high temperature
indicator. If the high heat is due to
overloading, the engine should
start to cool down almost
immediately. If it does, wait until
the high temperature indicator
goes off, then continue driving.
If you see steam and/or spray
coming from under the bonnet,
turn off the engine. Wait until you
see no more signs of steam or
spray, then open the bonnet. If the vehicle overheats, you should
take immediate action. The only
indication may be the high
temperature indicator blinking or
remaining on. Or you may see steam
or spray coming from under the
bonnet.
You will also see the symbol ‘‘ ,’’
or this symbol with an ‘‘ENGINE
TEMP. HIGH’’ message on the
multi-information display.
Driving with the high temperature
indicator on can cause serious
damage to your engine.
The high temperature indicator
should be off under most conditions.
If the engine coolant temperature
gets higher than normal, the
indicator will blink. If it stays on, you
should determine the reason (hot
day, driving up a steep hill, etc.).
Safely pull to the side of the road.
Put the transmission in Park, and
set the parking brake. Turn off all
accessories, and turn on the
hazard warning indicators. 1.
