6.If  you  cannot   find  the  cause  of  the
overheating, wait until the  engine tem-
perature has returned to normal. Then,
if coolant  has been lost,  carefully add
coolant  to  the  reservoir  to  bring  the
fluid  level  in  the  reservoir  up  to  the
halfway mark.

further  signs  of  overheating.  If  over-
heating  happens again, call an author-

for  coolant leaking  from  the  radiator,
hoses or  under the  vehicle. (If the  air
conditioning had been in use, it is nor-
mal for cold  water to be  draining from
it when you stop).
