Overheating
If you observe the following, your vehicle may be overheating.
●The high engine coolant temperature warning light flashes or comes on
or a loss of power is experienced.
● Steam is coming from under the hood.
CAUTION
■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 compartment may be very hot, caus-
ing serious injury such as burns.
● Keep hands and clothing away from the fan and other belts while the
engine is running.

When adding coolant, do so slowly. Adding cool coolant to a hot engine too
quickly can cause damage to the engine.
