If the temperature gauge needle is at the H mark, the engine suddenly loses power,
or steam or spray comes out from under the hood, your engine is overheating.

1. Immediately park the vehicle in a safe place. Turn

off all accessories and turn on the hazard warning
lights.

If no steam or spray is present: Keep the engine

running and open the hood (see page 124).
If steam or spray is present: Turn off the engine

and wait until it subsides. Then, open the hood.

3. Check that the cooling fan is operating and stop the engine once the

temperature gauge needle goes down. If the cooling fan is not operating,
immediately stop the engine.

4. 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, make sure the radiator is cool, then 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.

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

Steam and spray from an overheated engine can seriously scald you.
Do not open the hood if steam is coming out.

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.

Continuing to drive with the temperature gauge needle at the H mark may damage
the engine.

WARNING

NOTICE

Emergency Engine Stop

The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an
emergency situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, choose one of
the following operations:
• Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button

for two seconds, OR

• Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button two

times.

The steering wheel will not lock. The power mode changes to ACCESSORY (unless
the shift lever is in Park, in which case the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF).
Because turning off the engine also disables the power assist the engine provides to
the steering and braking systems, it will require significantly more physical effort
and time to steer and slow the vehicle. Downshift gears and use both feet on the
brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the vehicle and stop immediately in a safe place.

Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the
engine to be switched off.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving.
If your vehicle’s tire pressure becomes significantly low, the low tire pressure
indicator comes on and a message appears on the multi-information display.

Roll the right selector wheel

to the tire pressure monitor

to see which tire(s) have low

pressure.

What to Do

Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Adjust the tire pressure to the level specified on
a label on the driver’s doorjamb.

Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause it to overheat. An overheated
tire can fail. Always inflate your tires to the specified pressure.
