Engine overheating
If the high coolant temperature warning lamp
illuminates during the engine is running, the
engine may be overheating.
If this occurs, take the following corrective
measures:
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from the
engine compartment.
[If steam does not come from the engine
compartment]
With the engine still running, raise the
bonnet to ventilate the engine compart-
ment.
NOTE
l
For vehicles equipped with the Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) system, press the “Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) OFF” switch to deactivate the
Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system before
stopping the vehicle.
Refer to “To deactivate” on page 6-24.
[If steam is coming from the engine
compartment]
Stop the engine, and when the steam
stops, raise the bonnet to ventilate the
engine compartment. Restart the engine.
WARNING
l
Do not open the bonnet while steam is
coming from the engine compartment. It
could cause steam or hot water to spurt
out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt
out even when there is no steam coming
out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.
l Be careful of hot steam, which could be
blowing off the reserve tank cap.
l Do not attempt to remove the radiator cap
while the engine is hot.
3. Confirm that the cooling fan (A) is turn-
ing.
[If the cooling fan is turning]
After the high coolant temperature warn-
ing lamp has gone off, stop the engine.
[If the cooling fan is not turning]
Stop the engine immediately and contact
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point for assistance.
