Attention.
- It is prohibited to continue driving the vehicle if the engine overheats, as this may lead to engine fire and combustion.
- Do not open the hood if steam is coming from the engine compartment.
- Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Otherwise, overheated coolant may spill out and cause burns, eye damage, and other serious injuries.
- If steam or coolant is released from the engine cooling system, move a safe distance away from the vehicle to avoid burns.
- When the coolant temperature reaches a certain value, the cooling system fan turns on.
- Be careful not to let your hands, hair, jewelry or clothing get caught in the fan blades or on the belt pulleys.
1. Taking safety precautions, pull off the road onto the side of the road.
2. Turn on the hazard warning lights.
3. Apply the parking brake.

Attention: Do not jam the activity.
5. Open all windows.
6. Turn off the air conditioner (if it exists).
7. Set the maximum heating mode for the air entering the passenger compartment. Turn on the heater fan to maximum air supply.

9. Before opening the hood, visually and audibly check for steam and coolant leakage from the radiator. Wait until the steam or coolant leakage has completely stopped.
10. Open the hood.
11. Make sure the cooling fan is running.
12. Visually inspect the radiator and hoses for signs of coolant leakage.
Caution: Stop the engine immediately if coolant is leaking, the drive belt is loose or missing, or the fan is not working.
13. After the engine has cooled down, check the coolant level in the expansion tank (with the engine running). Do not remove the radiator cap.

14. If necessary, remove the expansion tank cap and slowly add coolant. When the coolant reaches the "MAX" mark on the expansion tank wall, close the cap.
Caution: To avoid burns, before removing the expansion tank cap, cover it with a rag and unscrew the cap to the first mark to allow the vapors under pressure to escape.
15. Close the hood.
