3) If you do not find a leak, carefully add
coolant to the reservoir and then the
radiator, if necessary. (Refer to “ENGINE
COOLANT” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section.)
It is dangerous to remove the radiator
cap when the water temperature is
high, because scalding fluid and
steam may be blown out under
pressure. The cap should only be
taken off when the coolant
temperature has lowered.
To help prevent personal injury, keep
hands, tools and clothing away from
the engine cooling fan and air-
conditioner fan (if equipped). These
electric fans can automatically turn on
without warning.

2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and
park.
3) Let the engine run at normal idle speed
for a few minutes until engine coolant
