Overheating

If the temperature gauge indicates

overheating, the vehicle loses power, or

you hear a loud knocking or pinging

noise, the engine is probably too hot.

WARNING

Cooling Fan and Engine

Inspection:

Inspecting the engine with the ignition

switch in the ON position is

dangerous. The cooling fan could turn

on unexpectedly even when the engine

isn't running. You could be seriously

injured by the fan. Turn the ignition

switch off and remove the key from the

ignition switch when you inspect the

engine.

Cooling System Cap:

When the engine and radiator are hot,

scalding coolant and steam may shoot

out under pressure and cause serious

injury. Don't remove the cooling

system cap when the engine and

radiator are hot.

Steam from Overheated Engine:

Steam from an overheated engine is

dangerous. The escapin g steam could

seriously burn you. Open the hood

ONLY after steam is no longer

escaping from the engine.

If the temperature gauge indicates

overheating:

1. Drive safely to the side of the road and

park off the right-of-way.

2. Put a vehicle with an automatic

transmission in park (P), a manual

transmission in neutral.

Apply the parking brake.

3. Turn off the air conditioner.

4. Check whether coolant or steam is

escaping from under the hood or from

the engine compartment.

If steam is coming from the engine

compartment:

Don't go near the front of the vehicle.

Stop the engine.

Wait until the steam dissipates, then

open the hood and start the engine.

If neither coolant nor steam is

escaping:

Open the hood and idle the engine until

it cools.

CAUTION

If the cooling fan does not operate

while the engine is running, the engine

temperature will increase. Stop the

engine and call an Authorized Mazda

Dealer.

5. Make sure the cooling fan is operating,

then turn off the engine after the

temperature has decreased.

6. When cool, check the coolant level.

If it's low, look for coolant leaks from

the radiator and hoses.
