Coolant Surge Tank Pressure Cap
Notice: If the pressure cap is not tightly installed,
coolant loss and possible engine damage may
occur. Be sure the cap is properly and tightly
secured.
If you replace your coolant surge tank pressure cap,
a Saturn cap is required.
Engine Overheating
You will find a coolant temperature gage and a low
coolant level warning message on your vehicle’s
instrument panel. See Engine Coolant Temperature
Gage on page 3-36 for more information.
You also have a check gage message and a transaxle
fluid hot message. See Check Gage Message on
page 3-45 and Transaxle Fluid Hot Message on
page 3-45.
Notice: Driving with either the CHK GAGE message
or the COOLANT message displayed in the message
center and the Engine Coolant Temperature Gage on
your instrument panel in the red zone could cause
your vehicle to overheat. See Engine Overheating on
page 5-29. Your vehicle could be damaged and the
damages might not be covered by your warranty.
If Steam Is Coming From Your Engine
{CAUTION:
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.
Notice: If your engine catches fire because you
keep driving with no coolant, your vehicle can
be badly damaged. The costly repairs would not
be covered by your warranty.
