In Case of an Emergency
Overheating
Form No. 8Q50-EA-01G
If you find no problems, the engine is
cool, and no leaks are obvious, carefully
add coolant as required (page 8-13).
Cooling System Caps:When the engine and radiator are
hot, scalding coolant and steam may
shoot out under pressure and cause
serious injury. Don’t remove either
cooling system cap when the engine
and radiator are hot.
If the engine continues to overheat or
frequently overheats, have the cooling
system inspected. The engine could be
seriously damaged unless repairs are
made.

bulb to overheat and explode when lit.
Never touch the glass portion of the
bulb with your bare hands and always
wear eye protection when handling or
working around halogen bulbs.

Playing with a halogen bulb is
dangerous. Serious injuries could be
caused by dropping a halogen bulb or
