ses power,
or steam or spray comes out from under the hood, your engine is overheat\
ing.

If steam or spray is present: T
urn off the engine and
wait until it subsides. Then, open the hood.
3.
Check that the cooling fan is operating and stop the engine once the tem\
perature
gauge needle goes down. If the cooling fan is not operating, immediately\
stop the
engine.
4.
o
nce the engine has cooled down, inspect the coolant level and check the \
cooling system components for leaks. If the coolant level in the reserve\
t
ank
is low, add coolant until it reaches the MAX mark. If there is no coolant in t\
he
reserve tank, make sure the radiator is cool, then cover the radiator ca\
p with a
heavy cloth and open the cap. If necessary, add coolant up to the base of the
filler neck, and put the cap back on.
once the engine has cooled sufficiently
, restart it and check the temperature gauge.
If the temperature gauge needle has gone down, resume driving. If it has\
not gone
down, contact a dealer for repairs.

A
rT/SToP button for
two seconds, or
•

cle. Downshift
gears and use both feet on the brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the vehicle and
