In the following situations, your vehicle may be overheating.
●The engine coolant temperature gauge enters the red zone or a loss of power is
experienced.

CAUTION
■To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
●Keep hands and clothing away from the fan and engine drive belt while the
engine is running.

gency measure if coolant is
unavailable. (→P. 4 1 6 )
