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.
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
which is AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(0).
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
the vehicle
until it cools down.
You may decide not to lift the
hood
but to get service
help right away.
