●The engine coolant temperature gauge enters the red zone or a loss of
power is experienced.
● Steam is coming from under the hood.
● “ENGINE COOLANT HOT” is shown on the multi-information display
(vehicles with multi-information display).

■To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of
your vehicle
● Keep hands and clothing away from the fan and other belts while the
