When the temperature gauge indi-
cates engine overheating, you may
experience a loss of power, loud
pinging, or knocking. The engine is
probably too hot. If this happens, you
should:
1.Pull off the road and stop the vehi-
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.
2.Place the shift lever in P(Park), and
set the parking brake. When the
A/C is turned ON, turn it OFF.
3.When the engine coolant gushes
out, or when steam comes out
from the hood, stop the engine. Do
not open the hood until the coolant
outrushing or steaming stops.
Even when there is no more
coolant outrushing, leave the
engine running and operate the
engine cooling fan. When the fan
does not operate, turn the engine
OFF.
4.Check whether the water pump
drive belt is missing. When it is not,
check its tightening. When it seems
to be loose, check for any coolant
leaking from the radiator or hoses
underneath the vehicle. (When the
A/C is turned ON, cold-water drain-
ing is normal upon stopping the
vehicle.)
5.When the water pump drive belt is
broken, or when engine coolant
leaks out, immediately stop the
engine and contact the nearest
authorized EQUUS dealer for
assistance.
6.When you cannot find a cause,
wait until the engine temperature
cools down. When there is serious
loss of engine coolant, carefully
add coolant into the reservoir to
bring the fluid level above the
halfway mark.
7.Be cautious and keep alert for fur-
ther signs of overheating. When
finding further overheating signs,
contact an authorized EQUUS
dealer for assistance.

What to do in an emergency
While the engine is running,
keep hair, hands, and clothing
away from moving parts, such
as the fan and drive belts, in
order to prevent an injury.
WARNING
Do not remove the
radiator cap, when the
engine is hot.This may
blow out the engine
coolant out of the
opening and cause a
serious burn.
WARNING
Serious loss of coolant indi-
cates a leakage in the cooling
system. This should be immedi-
ately checked by an authorized
EQUUS dealer.
