Engine overheating
WARNING
Never attempt to remove the radiator
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 cool-
ant, 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 off the engine and get everyone
away from the vehicle until it cools down.
. Contact an authorized SUBARU deal-
er.

Confirm that the cooling fan is turning. If
the fan is not turning, immediately turn off
the engine and contact an authorized
SUBARU dealer for repair.
3. After the engine coolant temperature
has dropped, turn off the engine.
Temperature gauge
1) Normal operating range
If temperature gauge stays in the over-
heated zone, turn off the engine. Refer to
“Temperature gauge” F3-11.
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” F11-17.
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.
