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.

If
your engine catches
fire
because you keep
driving with no coolant, your vehicle can be
badly damaged. The costly repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.
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.
