The pointer of the vehicle’s

temperature gauge should stay in

the midrange. If it climbs to the red

mark, you should determine the

reason (hot day, driving up a steep

hill, etc.).

If your vehicle overheats, you should

take immediate action. The only

indicationmaybethetemperature

gauge climbing to or above the red

mark. Or you may see steam or

spray coming from under the hood.

If you do not see steam or spray,

leave the engine running and

watch the temperature gauge. If

the high heat is due to overloading,

the engine should start to cool

down almost immediately. If it

does, wait until the temperature

gauge comes down to the midpoint,

then continue driving.

If the temperature gauge stays at

the red mark, turn off the engine.

Look for any obvious coolant leaks,

such as a split radiator hose.

Everything is still extremely hot,

so use caution. If you find a leak, it

must be repaired before you

continue driving (see

on page ).

If you see steam and/or spray

coming from under the hood,

turn off the engine. Wait until

you see no more signs of steam

or spray, then open the hood.

Safely pull to the side of the road.

Put the transmission in Park, and

set the parking brake. Turn off all

accessories, and turn on the

hazard warning lights.

is coming out.

pointer at the red mark can cause

serious damage to the engine.
