Steam
IS

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:
0
Climb a
long
hill
on
a
hot
day.
0
Stop after
high
speed
driving.
0
Idle for long
periods
in
traffic.
e
Tow
a
trailer. See "Driving on Grades"
in
the
Index.
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

speed
and
open
the

or
DRIVE
(D)

automatic
transmissions.
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

right

If there's still no sign
of

until
the

is
about
twice as fast
as
normal
idle
speed.
Bring
the
engine
speed
back
to
normal
idle
speed
after
two
or three
minutes.
Now
see
if
the
warning
stops.
But
then,
if
you
still
have
the
warning,
turn oflthe 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.
