immediately stop the engine.
2.Once the engine has cooled down, inspect
the coolant level and check the coolant
system components for leaks.

low, add coolant until it reaches the
MAX mark.

check that the radiator is cool. Cover the
radiator cap 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.■Last thing to do
Once the engine has cooled sufficiently, restart it and check the temperature gauge.
If the temperature needle has gone down, resume driving. If it has not gone down,
contact a dealer for repairs.

Use water as an emergency/temporary measure only.
Have a dealer flush the system with proper antifreeze
as soon as possible.
