Engine overheating
WARNING
Never attempt to remove the radiator cap until
the engine has been shut off and has fully
cooled down. When the engine is hot, the
coolant is under pressure. Removing the cap
while the engine is still hot could release a
spray of boiling hot coolant, which could burn
you very seriously.
If the engine overheats, safely pull off the road and
stop the vehicle in a safe place.
J If steam is coming from the engine
compartment
Turn the engine off and get everyone away from the
vehicle until it cools down.
J If no steam is coming from the engine
compartment
1. Keep the engine running at idling speed.
2. Open the hood to ventilate the engine compart-
ment.
