Engine Overheating
You will find a coolant light or a warning light about a
hot engine on your vehicle’s instrument panel.
If
you
have the optional gage cluster, you may
also
have a
coolant temperature warning gage. See “Engine Coolant
Temperature Warning Light’’ or “Engine Coolant
Temperature Gage” in the Index.
If
Steam
Is
Coming From Your Engine
I
Steam from an overheated engine can burn you
badly, even
if
you just open the hood. Stay
away
from the engine
if
you see or hear steam coming
from
it.
Just turn it
off
and get everyone away
from the vehicle until
it
cools down. Wait until
there is no sign of steam or coolant before you
open the hood.
If
you keep driving when your engine is
overheated, the liquids in it can catch fire. You or
others could be badly burned. Stop your engine
if
it
overheats, and get out of the vehicle until the
engine is cool.
NOTICE:
If
your engine catches fire because you keep
driving with no coolant, your vehicle can be
badly
damaged. The costly repairs would not be
covered
by
your warranty.
