EMERGENCY - How to Inspect and Replace a Fuse 3. Make sure the engine fan is turning by switching the Engine Fan Switch from AUTO to MAN (Manual). 4. Idle the engine to see if this reduces the coolant temperature. If the temperature does not begin to drop, shut off the engine and contact your nearest authorized dealer. 5. If the temperature begins to return to normal, allow the engine to idle 3 to 5 minutes before shutting it off. This allows the engine to cool gradually and uniformly. 6. If overheating came from severe operating conditions, the temperature should have cooled by this time. If it has not, stop the engine and let it cool before checking to see if the coolant is low. 7.
Be sure the vehicle is parked on level ground or the readings may be incorrect. Check the coolant level at the coolant surge tank. Check the coolant level after each trip when the engine has cooled. The coolant level should be visible within the surge tank. Add coolant if necessary. WARNING How to Inspect and Replace a Fuse 2 Removing the fill cap on a hot engine can cause scalding coolant to spray out and burn you badly. If the engine has been in operation within the previ- ous 30 minutes, be very careful in re- moving the fill cap. Protect face, hands, and arms against escaping flu- id and steam by covering the cap with a large, thick rag.
DO NOT try to re- move it until the surge tank cools down or if you see any steam or coolant es- caping. Always remove the cap very slowly and carefully. Be ready to back off if any steam or coolant begins to escape. Failure to comply may result in death, personal injury, equipment or property damage. Turn the ignition off and turn all lights off. WARNING DO NOT replace a fuse with a fuse of a higher rating. Doing so may damage the electrical system and cause a fire. Failure to comply may result in proper- ty damage, personal injury, or death. CAUTION Never patch fuses with tin foil or wire. This may cause serious damage else- where in the electrical circuit, and it may cause a fire.
NOTE Keep the engine running at idle speed unless a warning icon turns on that re- quires the engine to be shut off. 2. Check to ensure the Oil Pressure Gauge reads normal. 32 Y53-6096-1C1 (09/20)
