gine of the vehicle that has the discharged battery.

ant is under pressure. Removing the cap while
the engine is still hot could release a spray of
boiling hot coolant, which could burn you very
seriously.
If the engine overheats, pull off the road safely and
stop the vehicle in a safe place. „ If steam is coming from the engine

Turn off the engine and get everyone away from the
vehicle until it cools down. „ If no steam is coming from the engine
