●The display on the engine coolant temperature gauge flashes or a loss of power
is experienced.

■To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
●If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until the
steam has subsided. The engine compartm ent may be very hot, causing serious
