may have a leak in the radiator hoses, heater hoses, radiator, water pump
or somewhere else
in the cooling system.
A CAUTION:
Heater and radiator hoses, and other engine parts, can be very
hot. Don’t touch them.
If you do, you can be burned.
Don’t run the engine if there
is a leak. If you run the engine, it
could lose all coolant. That could cause an engine fire, and you
could be burned. Get any leak fixed before you drive the vehicle.

If there seems to be no leak, check to see if the fan or if equipped electric --
engine fans are running. If the engine is overheating, both fans should be
running.
If they aren’t, your vehicle needs service.

A CAUTION:
You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine parts.
Coolant contains ethylene glycol and
it will burn if the engine
parts are hot enough. Don’t spill coolant on a hot engine.
When the coolant in the coolant recovery tank is at or above “FULL
COLD,” start your vehicle.
If the overheat warning continues, there’s one more thing you can try.
You can add the proper coolant
mix directly to the radiator, but be sure
the cooling system is
cool before you do it.

Steam and scalding liquids from a hot cooling system can blow
out and burn you badly. They are under pressure, and if you
turn the radiator pressure cap
-- even a little -- they can come
out at high speed. Never turn the cap when the cooling system,
including the radiator pressure cap, is hot. Wait for the cooling
system and radiator pressure cap to cool if you ever have to turn
the pressure cap.
