hicle fire.
Never open the bonnet if steam is coming
out.
Never remove engine coolant reservoir cap
when the engine is hot. If the engine coolant
reservoir cap is removed while the engine is
hot, pressurised hot water will spurt out and
possibly cause burning, scalding or serious
injury.
If steam or coolant is coming out of the en-
gine, stand clear of the vehicle to prevent get-
ting injured.
The engine cooling fan will start whenever the
coolant temperature exceeds preset degrees.
Be careful not to allow your hands, hair, jewel-
lery or clothing to come into contact with, or
get caught in, the cooling fan or drive belts.
If the engine of your vehicle is overheating (indi-
cated by the engine coolant temperature gauge) or
if you feel a lack of engine power, detect unusual
noise, etc., proceed as follows:
1. Move and park the vehicle safely off the road and away from traffic.
2. Turn on the hazard warning flasher lights.
3. Apply the handbrake. 4. Shift the gear lever (MT models) into the N (Neu-
tral) position [AT or CVT models, move the se-
lector lever to the P (Park) position].
