If the temperature does not drop within a minute or two:
Pull the vehicle over to the roadside as soon as it is safe to do so.
Place the transmission in P (Park) and press the accelerator to increase engine speed (r.p.m.’s) to twice
that of normal idle speed, and hold it there for approximately two or three minutes.
If engine temperature does not go down, turn the engine off and wait until the engine has cooled before
attempting to open the hood.
When no trace of escaping steam is heard or seen, open the hood to check for the cause of the overheating.
Check hose connections and tighten if necessary. Make sure there are no broken belts, pulleys or hoses
before adding any coolant to the radiator.
For further information in case of overheating, consult your chassis-operating guide.
