If
No
Steam
Is
Coming
From
Your
Engine
If you get the overheat warning but see or hear no
steam, the problem may not be too serious..Sometimes
the engine can get a little too hot when you:
Climb a long hill
on
a hot day.
0
Stop after high-speed driving.
0
Idle for long periods in traffic.
Tow a trailer.
If you get the overheat warning with no sign
of
steam,
try this for a minute or
so:
1.
Turn
off
your air conditioner.
2.
Turn on your heater to full hot at the highest fan
speed and open
the
window as necessary.
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 0fSth.e engine
and
get everyone out
of
the vehicle
until it cools down. Also, see “Overheated
Engine Protection Operating Mode” listed previously in
this section.
You
may
decide not to
lift
the hood
but
to
eet
service
help right away.

If you’re in a traffic jam, shift to NEUTRAL
(N);
otherwise, shift
to
the highest gear while
driving
