can cause some fluids which may have
leaked into the engine compartment to
catch fire. You could be seriously
burned.
ț 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.
Turn off the engine, get out of the vehicle
and do not stand near the vehicle until the
engine has cooled down.
! Excessive coolant temperature triggers the
coolant temperature warning lamp ( ୴ page 386)

tion display ( ୴ page 386) and ( ୴ page 415).
