2. Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the booster battery’s (-) 
terminal.
3. Disconnect the jumper cable from your vehicle battery’s (+) terminal.
4. Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the booster battery’s (+) 
terminal.
5. Have your vehicle inspected by a nearby service station or a dealer.
Overheating
If the temperature gauge needle is at the H mark, the engine suddenly loses power, 
or steam or spray comes out from under the hood, your engine is overheat\
ing.

 If steam or spray is present: Turn off the engine and
wait until it subsides. Then, open the hood.
3. Check that the cooling fan is operating and stop the engine once the tem\
perature

4. once the engine has cooled down, inspect the coolant level and check the \
cooling system components for leaks. If the coolant level in the reserve tank 
is low, add coolant until it reaches the MAX mark. If there is no coolant in the 
reserve tank, make sure the radiator is cool, then cover the radiator ca\
p with a
heavy cloth and open the cap. If necessary, add coolant up to the base of the 
filler neck, and put the cap back on.
once the engine has cooled sufficiently, restart it and check the temperature gauge.
If the temperature gauge needle has gone down, resume driving. If it has not gone 
down, contact a dealer for repairs.

Continuing to drive with the temperature gauge needle at the H mark may \
damage
the engine.
