10-22 Vehicle Care If the decision is made not to lift the hood when this warning appears, but instead get service help right away, see Roadside Assistance Program on page 13-5. If the decision is made to lift the hood, make sure the vehicle is parked on a level surface. Then check to see if the engine cooling fans are running. If the engine is overheating, the fan should be running. If it is not, do not continue to run the engine and have the vehicle serviced. See if the engine cooling fan speed increases when idle speed is doubled by pushing the accelerator pedal down. If it does not, the vehicle needs service. Turn off the engine. 8. Replace the pressure cap. At any time during this procedure if coolant begins to flow out of the filler neck, reinstall the pressure cap. { Caution Running the engine without coolant may cause damage or a fire. Vehicle damage would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. { Caution If the pressure cap is not tightly installed, coolant loss and possible engine damage may occur. Be sure the cap is properly and tightly secured. If Steam is Coming from the Engine Compartment { Warning 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. (Continued) Engine Overheating If the vehicle has a diesel engine, see the Duramax diesel supplement. The vehicle has an indicator to warn of engine overheating. There is an engine coolant temperature gauge on the vehicle's instrument cluster. See Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge on page 5-13.
