cause engine overheating.
The cooling system indicator
discharge port can also become
plugged.
When the alert triggers, the overheat
indicator comes on and the buzzer
sounds a steady tone as the engine
speed is reduced to 1,800 rpm. If the
condition persists for another 20
seconds, the engine shuts off. Refer

of clogged water intakes.
