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.
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 ofthe engine
and
get everyone out
of
.
p~
the vehicle
until it cools down.
