❒ If you do not find a leak, carefully add
coolant to the reservoir and then the
radiator, if necessary. (Refer to “Engine
Coolant” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section.)
If the temperature indication does not
come down to within the normal, accept-
able range:
❒ Turn off the engine and check that the
water pump belt and pulleys are not
damaged or slipping. If any abnormali-
ty is found, correct it.
❒ Check the coolant level in the reser-
voir. If it is found to be lower than the
“LOW” line, look for leaks at the ra-
diator, water pump, and radiator and
heater hoses. If you locate any leaks
that may have caused the overheating,
do not run the engine until these prob-
lems have been corrected.

– It is hazardous to remove
the radiator cap when the
water temperature is high, because
scalding fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure. The cap
should only be taken off when the
coolant temperature has lowered.
– To help prevent personal injury,
keep hands, tools and clothing away
from the engine cooling fan and air-
conditioner fan (if equipped). These
electric fans can automatically turn
on without warning.
