Overheating
You will find a coolant temperature gage and a hot
engine warning light on your instrument panel. See
“Engine Coolant Temperature Gage” and “Engine
Coolant Temperature Warning Light” in the Index. You
also have a low coolant warning light on your

If
Steam
Is
Coming
From
Your
Engine
Steam from an overheated engine can burn you
badly, even if you just open the hood. Stay away
from the engine if you see
or
hear steam coming
from it. Just turn it off and get everyone away
from the vehicle until it cools down. Wait until
there is no sign of steam or coolant before you
open the hood.
If
you keep driving when your engine is
overheated, the liquids in
it
can catch fire.
You
or
others could be badly burned. Stop your engine
if
it overheats, and get out of the vehicle until the
engine
is
cool.
