engine until these problems have been
corrected.
3) If you do not find a leak, carefully add coolant to the reservoir and then the
radiator, if necessary. (Refer to “ENGINE
COOLANT” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section.)
It is dangerous to remove the radiator
cap when the water temperature is
high, because scalding fluid and
steam may be blown out under
pressure. The cap should only be
taken off when the coolant
temperature has lowered.
To help prevent personal injury, keep
hands, tools and clothing away from
the engine cooling fan and air-
conditioner fan (if equipped). These
electric fans can automatically turn on
without warning.

1) Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped.
2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and
park.
3) Let the engine run at normal idle speed for a few minutes until engine coolant
temperature warning light goes off.
If you see or hear escaping steam,
stop the vehicle in a safe place and
immediately turn off the engine to let
it cool. Do not open the bonnet when
steam is present. When the steam can
no longer be seen or heard, open the
hood to see if the coolant is still
boiling. If it is, you must wait until it
stops boiling before you proceed.
If the engine coolant temperature warning
light does not goes off:
1) Turn off the engine and check that the water pump belt and pulleys are not
damaged or slipping. If any abnormality
is found, correct it.
2) Check the coolant level in the reservoir. If it is found to be lower than the “LOW”
line, look for leaks at the radiator, water
pump, and radiator and heater hoses. If
you locate any leaks that may have
caused the overheating, do not run the
