Engine overheating
WARNING
Never attempt to remove the radiator
cap until the engine has been shut
off and has fully cooled down. When
the engine is hot, the coolant is
under pressure. Removing the cap
while the engine is still hot could
release a spray of boiling hot cool-
ant, which could burn you very
seriously.
If the engine overheats, safely pull off the
road and stop the vehicle in a safe
location.&If steam is coming from the
engine compartment.Turn off the engine and get everyone
away from the vehicle until it cools down.

er.
&If no steam is coming from the
engine compartment1. Keep the engine running at idling
speed.
2. Open the engine hood to ventilate the
engine compartment. Refer to“Engine
hood”F11-9.
Confirm that the cooling fan is turning. If
the fan is not turning, immediately turn off
the engine and contact an authorized
SUBARU dealer for repair.

has dropped, turn off the engine.Temperature gauge
1) Normal operating rangeIf temperature gauge stays in the over-
heated zone, turn off the engine. Refer to
“Temperature gauge”F3-11.4. After the engine has fully cooled down,
check the coolant level in the reserve tank.

mark, add coolant up to the“FULL”mark.
NOTEFor details about how to check the
coolant level or how to add coolant,
refer to“Engine coolant”F11-17.
5. If there is no coolant in the reserve
tank, add coolant to the reserve tank. Then
