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 “N” (Neutral).
If
you
no longer have the overheat warning,
you
can
drive. Just to be safe, drive slower for about ten 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
OFF
THE
ENGINE AND GET
EVERYONE OUT
OF THE
VEHICLE
until
it
cools
down.
IOU
may decide not to lift the hood but to get service
help right away.
When you decide it’s safe to lift the hood, here’s what
you’ll see:
0
Coolant recovery tank

Radiator pressure cap
