Engine overheating

If the high coolant temperature warning lamp flashes while 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 compart-
ment.
[If steam does not come from the engine compartment]
With the engine still running, raise the bonnet to ventilate
the engine compartment.
NOTE
●
For Clear Tec models, 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 4-24.
[If steam is coming from the engine compartment]
Stop the engine, and when the steam stops, raise the bon-
net to ventilate the engine compartment. Restart the
engine.
3. Confirm that the cooling fan is turning. If the fan is not
turning, stop the engine immediately and have it checked.
WARNING

●
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.
●
Be careful of hot steam, which could be blowing off
the reserve tank cap.
●
Do not attempt to remove the radiator cap while the
engine is hot.
