closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or pos-
sibly fatal injuries to people or ani-
mals.

age to the system due to lack of lubri-
cation.
If the coolant temperature gauge exceeds the
hot position, turn the air conditioner off. For
additional information, see “If your vehicle
overheats” in the “6. In case of emergency”
