Steam

Coming From Your Engine

you get the overheat warning but see or hear

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.

Stop after high-speed driving.

Idle for long periods

traffic.

Tow a trailer.

you get the overheat warning with no sign of steam,

try this for a minute

so:

you

have an air conditioner, turn it off.

Turn on your heater to full hot at the highest fan

speed and open the window as necessary.

If you’re in a traffic jam, shift to NEUTRAL

(N);

otherwise, shift to the highest gear while

driving --AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE

DRIVE

(D)

for automatic transmissions.

Ii‘

you

longer have the overheat warning, you

can drive.

Just

to be safe, drive slower for about

minutes.

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

the warning stops. But then, if you still have the

warning,

turn

off

the engine

and

get everyone

out

the

vehicle

until it cools down.

You may decide not to lift the hood but to get service

help right away.
