■

Next thing to do

Check that the cooling fan is operating and
stop the engine once the temperature
gauge pointer comes down.

If the cooling fan is not operating,
immediately stop the engine.

Once the engine has cooled down, inspect
the coolant level and check the cooling
system components for leaks.

If the coolant level in the reserve tank is
low, add coolant until it reaches the

MAX

mark.

If there is no coolant in the reserve tank,
check that the radiator is cool. Cover the
radiator cap with a heavy cloth and open
the cap. If necessary, add coolant up to
the base of the filler neck, and put the
cap back on.

■

Last thing to do

Once the engine has cooled sufficiently, restart it and check the temperature gauge.
If the temperature gauge pointer has come down, resume driving. If it has not come
down, contact a dealer for repairs.

How to Handle Overheating

If the coolant is leaking, contact a dealer for repairs.

Use water as an emergency/temporary measure only.
Have a dealer flush the system with proper antifreeze
as soon as possible.

WARNING

Removing the radiator cap while the
engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray
out, seriously scalding you.

Always let the engine and radiator cool
down before removing the radiator cap.

Reasons for the indicator to come on or blink

A tire pressure is significantly low, or the TPMS has not been calibrated.
If there is a problem with the TPMS, the indicator blinks for about one
minute, and then stays on.

it will first blink for about one minute, then stay on.

■

What to do when the indicator comes on

Drive carefully and avoid abrupt cornering and hard braking.
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire pressure and adjust the
pressure to the specified level. The specified tire pressure is on a label on
the driver side doorjamb.

Calibrate the TPMS after the tire pressure is adjusted.

If the compact spare tire causes the indicator to come on, change the
tire to a full-size tire. The indicator goes off after calibrating the TPMS.

■

What to do when the indicator blinks, then remains on

Have the tire inspected by a dealer as soon as possible. If the compact
spare tire causes the indicator to first blink, and then stay on, change the
