If Steam Is Coming From Your Engine

{CAUTION:

Steam from an overheated engine can burn

you badly, even if you just open the hood. Stay

away from the engine if you see or hear steam

coming from it. Just turn it off and get

everyone away from the vehicle until it cools

down. Wait until there is no sign of steam or

coolant before you open the hood.

If you keep driving when your engine is

overheated, the liquids in it can catch ﬁre. You

or others could be badly burned. Stop your

engine if it overheats, and get out of the

vehicle until the engine is cool.
