CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the
temperature gauge reads HOT (H), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the
vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into
the normal range. If the pointer remains on HOT (H), and you hear
continuous chimes, turn the engine off immediately and call for service.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or
steam from your radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the
hood, do not open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never
try to open a cooling system pressure cap when the radiator or coolant
bottle is hot.
