Engine Overheating

In Case of Emergency9
– CONTINUED –
9-5. Engine Overheating■If Steam Is Coming from the
Engine CompartmentTurn off the engine and get everyone
away from the vehicle until it cools down.
■ If No Steam Is Coming from
the Engine Compartment1. Keep the engine running at idling
speed.
2. Open the hood to ventilate the engine
compartment. Refer to "Engine Hood"
 P343.
Confirm that the cooling fan is turning. If
the fan is not turning, immediately turn off
the engine and contact your authorized
dealer for repair.
3. After the engine coolant temperature
has dropped, turn off the engine.
If the temperature gauge stays in the over-
heated zone, turn off the engine.
4. After the engine has fully cooled down,
check the coolant level in the reserve
tank.
If the coolant level is below the “LOW”
mark, add coolant up to the “FULL” mark.NOTEFor details about how to check the
coolant level or how to add coolant,
refer to "Eng ine Coolant" P349.
5. If there is no coolant in the reserve
tank, add coolant to the reserve tank.
Then remove the radiator cap and fill the
radiator with coolant.
If you remove the radiator cap from a hot
radiator, first wrap a thick cloth around the radiator cap, then turn the cap

counterclockwise slowly without pressing
down until it stops. Release the pressure
from the radiator. After the pressure has
been fully released, remove the cap by
pressing down and turning it.
WARNING
Never 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 coolant,
which could burn you very seri-
ously.
CAUTION
If the engine overheats, the engine
speed or the vehicle speed may be
reduced. Stop the vehicle in a safe
place immediately.
