Overheating
If the high temperature indicator comes on, the engine suddenly loses power, or  steam or spray comes out from under the hood, your engine is overheating. 1. Immediately park the vehicle in a safe place. Turn  off all accessories and turn on the hazard warning lights.
2. If steam or spray is not present: Keep the engine
running and open the hood.
  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 high temperature indicator goes off. If the cooling fan is not operating, immediately stop the engine.
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 cap with a
heavy cloth and open the cap. If necessary, add coolant up to the base of the iller neck, and put the cap back on.
Once the engine has cooled sufciently, restart it and check the high temperature
indicator. If the indicator is off, resume driving. If it stays on, contact a dealer for repairs.
Steam and spray from an overheated engine can seriously scald you. Do not open the hood if steam is coming out.
WARNING
Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray out, seriously scalding you. Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiator cap.
WARNING
Continuing to drive with the temperature gauge needle at the H mark may damage the engine.
NOTICE
Emergency Engine Stop*
The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an 
emergency situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, choose one of the following operations: •  Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for 
two seconds, or
•  Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button two 
times.
The steering wheel will not lock. The power mode changes to ACCESSORY (or OFF 
for manual transmission), unless the shift lever is in Park (P), in which case the
power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF. Because turning off the engine also disables the power assist the engine provides 
to the steering and braking systems, it will require signiicantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow the vehicle. Downshift gears and use both feet on the 
brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the vehicle and stop immediately in a safe place.
Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the engine  to be switched off.
Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle. Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck.  This is
the best way to transport your vehicle.
Wheel lift equipment: The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front  tires and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground. This is an
acceptable way to tow your vehicle.
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The 
bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle can  damage the transmission.
