[If steam is coming from the engine compartment] Stop the engine, and when the steam stops, raise the bonnet to ventilate the engine compartment.

WARNING:

● Do not open the bonnet while steam is coming from the engine compartment. It could cause steam or hot water to spurt out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt out even when there is no steam coming out, and some parts will be very hot. Be very careful when opening the bonnet.

● Be careful of hot steam, which could cause the cap on the engine reserve tank to blow off.

● Do not attempt to remove the reserve tank cap while the engine is hot.
