Warning!
G
Driving when your engine is badly overheat-
ed 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 and 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.
