Engine overheating
E00800600991
If the water temperature gauge
indication remains in the over-
heating zone for a long time, the engine may be overheating. If this occurs, take the foll
owing corrective measures:
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place. 2. Check whether steam is comin
g from the engine compart-
ment. [If steam does not come from
the engine compartment]
With the engine still running, raise the bonnet to ventilate the engine compartment. [If steam is coming from
the engine compartment]
Stop the engine, and when the steam stops, raise the bon- net to ventilate the engine
compartment. Restart the
engine.
WARNING
!●
Do not open the bonnet wh
ile steam is coming from
the engine compartment. It could cause steam or hot water to spurt out, causin
g burns. Hot water could
spurt out even when there is no steam coming out, and some parts will be very
hot. Be very careful
when opening
the bonnet.
●
Be careful of hot steam, which could be blowing off the reserve tank cap.
●
Do not attempt to remove the radiator cap while the engine is hot.

coolant to the radiator and/or reserve tank if neces-
sary. (Refer to the “Maintenance” section.)
7. Examine the radiator hoses
for coolant leakage and the

line, light oil, brake fluids, engine oils, greases, paint thinners, and sulphuric ac
id (battery electrolyte)
which may crack, stain or
