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

Electrical Fan and Engine

Inspection:

Working near the electrical cooling

fan when it is running is dangerous.

You could be hit by the fan and

seriously injured. Turn off the ignition

switch and make sure the fan is not

running before attempting to work

near the electrical cooling fan.

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.

NOTE

Once the engine coolant exceeds a

preset temperature, an electrical cooling

fan turns on. It will continue running

for about 10 minutes after the ignition

switch is turned to off.

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.
