Warning!
G
Driving when your engine is overheated 
can 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.
Turn off the engine, get out of the vehicle 
and do not stand near the vehicle until the 
engine has cooled down.
