Engine overheating
WARNING
Never attempt to remove the radia-
tor cap until the engine has been
shut off and has fully cooled down.
When the engine is hot, the coolant
is under pressure. Removing the
cap while the engine is still hot
could release a spray of boiling hot
coolant, which could burn you very
seriously.
If the engine overheats, safely pull off the
road and stop the vehicle in a safe
location.
& If steam is coming from the
engine compartment
. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”
(off) position and get everyone away from
the vehicle until it cools down.
. Contact an authorized SUBARU deal-
er.
& If no steam is coming from
the engine compartment
1. Keep the hybrid system running at
idling speed.
2. Open the engine hood to ventilate the
engine compartment. Refer to “Engine
hood” F11-7.
Confirm that the cooling fan is turning. If
the fan is not turning, immediately turn the
ignition switch to the “LOCK” (off) position
and contact an authorized SUBARU deal-
er for repair.
3. After the coolant temperature high
warning light that has blinked or illumi-
nated in RED turns off, turn the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” (off) position. For
details about the warning light, refer to
“Coolant temperature low indicator light/
Coolant temperature high warning light”
F3-16.
4. After the engine has fully cooled down,
check the coolant level in the reserve
tank. If the coolant level is below the
“LOW” mark, add coolant up to the “FULL”
mark.
NOTE
For details about how to check the
coolant level or how to add coolant,
refer to “Engine coolant” F11-14.
5. If there is no coolant in the reserve
tank, add coolant to the reserve tank.
Then remove the radiator cap and fill the
radiator with coolant.
If you remove the radiator cap from a hot
radiator, first wrap a thick cloth around the
radiator cap, then turn the cap counter-
clockwise slowly without pressing down
until it stops. Release the pressure from
the radiator. After the pressure has been
fully released, remove the cap by pressing
down and turning it.
