Look for any obvious coolant leaks,
such as a split radiator hose.
Everything is still extremely hot,
so use caution. If you find a leak, it
must be repaired before you
continue driving (see
on page ).
If you don’t find an obvious leak,
check the coolant level in the
expansion tank (see page
).
If the expansion tank needs
coolant, you will have to remove
the cap. Before doing that, turn
the ignition switch to ON (II) and
check the temperature gauge.
Remove the expansion tank cap
only if the temperature gauge
pointer has come down to normal
or below the red mark and you do
not hear any bubbling or gurgling
noises coming from the cooling
system.
Use a cloth or glove to protect
your hand while removing the
expansion tank cap. Loosen the
cap by turning it 1/8 turn anticlock-
wise. Stop and wait for any pres-
sure in the expansion tank to
escape. Then remove the cap by
turning it anticlockwise.
Start the engine and set the
climate control to AUTO at
‘‘
’’. Add coolant up to the
MAX line on the expansion tank. If
you do not have the proper coolant
mixture available, you can add
plain water. Remember to have
the cooling system drained and
refilled with the proper mixture as
soon as you can.
Put the expansion tank cap back
on tightly. Run the engine and
watch the temperature gauge. If it
goes back to the red mark, the
engine needs repair (see
on page ).
If the temperature stays normal,
check the coolant level in the
expansion tank. If it has gone
down, add coolant up to the MAX
line. Put the expansion tank cap
back on tightly.

Removing the expansion
tank cap while the engine is
hot can cause the coolant to
spray out, seriously scalding
you.
Always let the engine and
radiator cool down before
removing the expansion tank
cap.
