that may become serious. Some lamps

respective system warning lamp for further  
information.

engine is overheating. Stop the engine,  
switch the ignition off and determine the  
cause once the engine has cooled down.

Note: Do not restart the engine until the  
cause of overheating has been determined

vehicle the fuel filler door is located.
