If No Steam Is Coming From Your Engine
If you no longer have the overheat warning, you can
drive. Just to be safe, drive slower for about 10 minutes.
If the warning doesn’t come back on, you can
drive normally.
If you get an engine 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:
If the warning continues, pull over, stop, and park your
vehicle right away.
Climb a long hill on a hot day.
Stop after high-speed driving.
If there’s still no sign of steam, push down the accelerator
until the engine speed is about twice as fast as normal
idle speed for at least three minutes while you’re parked.
If you still have the warning, turn off the engine and get
everyone out of the vehicle until it cools down. Also, see
“Overheated Engine Protection Operating Mode” listed
previously in this section.
Idle for long periods in traffic.
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.
2.
If you have an air conditioner and it’s on, turn it off.
You may decide not to lift the hood but to get service
help right away.
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 NEUTRAL (N);
otherwise, shift to the highest gear while
driving -- DRIVE (D).
