If you get the overheat warning with no sign of steam,
try
this for
a
minute
or
so:
1.
If you have an air conditioner, turn it
off.
2.
Turn on your heater to full hot
at
the highest fan
speed and open the window as necessary.
3.
If you’re in a traffic jam, shift to NEUTRAL
(N);
otherwise, shift to the highest gear while
driving
--
AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(a)
or
DRIVE
(D)
for automatic transmissions.
If
you
no
longer have the overheat warning, you
can drive. Just to be safe, drive slower for about
10
minutes. If the warning doesn’t come back on,
you
can drive normally.
If the warning continues, pull over, stop, and park your
vehicle right away.
If
there’s still no sign of steam, you can idle the engine
for two or three minutes while you’re parked, to see
if the warning stops. But then,
if
you still have the
warning,
turn
ojjfthe
engine and get everyone
out
of
the
vehicle
until it cools down.
You may decide not to lift the hood but to get service
help right away.
