Engine Overheating You will find a coolant temperature gage on your vehicle's instrument panel. See "Engine Coolant Temperature Gage" in the Index. You will also find a LOW COOLANT level warning light on your vehicle's instrument panel. See "Low Coolant Warning Light" in the Index. If Steam Is Coming From Your Engine Steam from an overheated engine canburn you badly, evenif 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 signof steam or coolant beforeyou open the hood. If you keep driving when your engine is overheated, the liquids in it can catch fire. You or others could be badlyburned. Stop your engineif it overheats, and get out of the vehicle until the engine is cool. NOTICE: If your engine catches because you keep fire driving with no coolant, your vehicle can be badly damaged.The costly repairs would not be covered by your warranty. 5-15
