WARNING
Driving when your engine is overheated can cause some fluids which may have
leaked into the
engine compartment to catch fire. You could be seriously burned.
Steam from an overheated engine can cause serious burns which can occur just by opening the engine hood. Stay away from the engine if you see or hear steam coming from it.
Stop the vehicle in a safe location away from other traffic. Turn off the engine, get out of the vehicle and do not stand near the vehicle until the engine has cooled down.
If the coolant temperature exceeds 248 °F(120 °C) do not continue driving. The
engine will

.Tires
WARNING
Do not drive with a flat tire. A flat tire affects the ability to steer or brake
the vehicle. You may
lose control of the vehicle. Continued driving with a flat tire will cause
excessive heat build-up
and possibly a fire.
WARNING
Follow recommended tire inflation pressures.
Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires wear excessively and/or unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail from being overheated.
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated tires can adversely affect handling and ride comfort, wear unevenly, increase stopping distance, and result in sudden deflation (blowout) because they are more likely to become punctured or damaged by road debris, potholes etc.
| Display messages | Possible causes/consequences and
Solutions |
