5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■
Overheating
If you observe the following, your vehicle may be overheating.
●
The engine coolant temperature gauge enters the red zone or a loss of
power is experienced.
●
Steam is coming from under the hood.
CAUTION
■
To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of
your vehicle
●
If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until
the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot, caus-
ing serious injury such as burns.
●
Keep hands and clothing away from the fan and other belts while the
engine is running.
●
Do not loosen the coolant reservoir cap while the engine and radiator are
hot.
Serious injury, such as burns, may result from hot coolant and steam
released under pressure.
Add engine coolant if neces-
sary.
Water can be used in an emer-
gency if engine coolant is
unavailable.
