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.
Stop after high-speed driving.
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.
3.
If
you’re in a traffic jam, shift to NEUTRAL
(N);
otherwise, shift to the highest gear while
driving
--
AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(@)
or
THIRD
(3).
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
ofSthe 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.
