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.

d damage the engine. Wait
for the engine to cool down
, then add coolant a little
