Problems
on
the
Road
If
No
Steam
Is
Coming
From
Your
Engine
(CONK)
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.
You
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:
A.
Coolant
recovery
tank
B. Radiator pressure
cap
C. Electric engine fans
If
the
coolant
inside the coolant
recovery
tank
is
boiling,
don’t do anything else
until
it
cools
down.
The coolant level should
be
at
or
above
the
“COLD”
mark. If
it isn’t,
you
may
have
a
leak
in
the
radiator
hoses,
heater
hoses,
radiator,
water
pump
or
somewhere
else in
the
cooling
system.
