Drive safely to the side of the  road and park off the right-of-way.
Put a vehicle with an automatic t ransaxle in park (P), a manual tran-
saxle in neutral.
Apply the parking brake.
Turn off the air conditioner.
Check whether coolant or steam is escaping from the engine com-
partment.
If steam is coming from  the engine compartment
Do not go near the front of t he vehicle. Stop the engine.
Wait  until  the  steam  dissipates,  then  open  the  hood  and  start  the
engine.
If neither coolant nor steam is escaping
Open the hood and idle the engine until it cools.
Make sure the cooling fan is operating, then turn off the engin e after
the temperature has decreased.
When cool, check th e coolant level.

continue running indefinitely even if the engine has stopped an d the engine
compartment temperature is high. You could be hit by the fan an d seriously
injured.

seriously burn you.
