the temperature gauge. If it goes
back to the red mark, the engine
needs repair (see

If the temperature stays normal,
check the coolant level in the
radiator reserve tank. If it has
gone down, add coolant to the
MAX mark. Put the cap back on
tightly.
Start the engine, and set the
temperature control dial to
maximum heat. Add coolant to the
radiator up to the base of the f iller

you can add plain water.
Remember to have the cooling

the proper mixture as soon as you
can.
