or if you feel a lack of engine power, detect

abnormal noise, etc. take the following

steps.

∙ Automatic Transmission (AT) models

and Manual Transmission (MT) cannot

be push-started or tow-started. At-

tempting to do so may cause trans-

mission damage.

3. Get out of the vehicle. Look and listen

for steam or coolant escaping from the

radiator before opening the hood. (If

steam or coolant is escaping, turn off

the engine.) Do not open the hood fur-

ther until no steam or coolant can be

seen.

WARNING

∙ Do not continue to drive if your vehicle

overheats. Doing so could cause en-

gine damage or a vehicle fire.

∙ For Manual Transmission (MT) mod-

els, never try to start the vehicle by

towing it. When the engine starts, the

forward surge could cause the vehicle

to collide with the tow vehicle.

∙ To avoid the danger of being scalded,

never remove the radiator cap while

the engine is still hot. When the radia-

tor cap is removed, pressurized hot

water will spurt out, possibly causing

serious injury.

4. Open the engine hood.

WARNING

If steam or water is coming from the

engine, stand clear to prevent getting

burned.

∙ Do not open the hood if steam is com-

ing out.

1. Move the vehicle safely off the road, ap-

ply the parking brake and move the

shift lever to N (Neutral) (manual trans-

mission) or to P (Park) (automatic trans-

mission).

5. Visually check drive belts for damage

or looseness. Also check if the cooling

fan is running. The radiator hoses and

radiator should not leak water. If cool-

ant is leaking, the water pump belt is

missing or loose, or the cooling fan

does not run, stop the engine.

Do not stop the engine.
