Next thing to do
1. Check that the cooling fan is operating and
stop the engine once the temperature
gauge goes down.
u If the cooling fan is not operating,
immediately stop the engine.
2. Once the engine has cooled down, inspect
the coolant level and check the cooling
system components for leaks.
u If the coolant level in the engine coolant
reserve tank is low, add coolant until it
reaches the
MAX mark.
u If there is no coolant in the engine
coolant reserve tank, check that the
radiator is cool. Cover the reserve tank
cap with a heavy cloth and open the cap.
If necessary, add coolant up to the base
of the filler neck, and put the cap back
on.

Last thing to do
Once the engine has cooled sufficiently, restart it and check the temperature gauge.
If the temperature gauge has gone down, resume driving. If it has not gone down,
contact a dealer for repairs.
1 How to Handle Overheating
If the coolant is leaking, contact a dealer for repairs.
Use water as an emergency/temporary measure only.
Have a dealer flush the system with proper antifreeze
as soon as possible.
