cause some fluids which may have leaked into
the engine compartment to catch fire. You
could be seriously burned.
Steam from an overheated engine can cause serious burns which can occur just by opening the engine hood. Stay away from the engine if you see or hear steam coming from it.
Stop the vehicle in a safe location away from other traffic. Turn off the engine, get out of the vehicle and do not stand near the vehicle until the engine has cooled down.
display message is shown if the coolant temperature is too high.
If the coolant temperature is over 248 º F(120 º C), do not continue driving. The engine will otherwise be damaged.
The coolant temperature gauge is in the instrument cluster on the right-hand side .
Under normal operating conditions and with the specified coolant level, the coolant temperature may rise to 248 º F (120 º C).
