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
the warning continues, pull over, stop, and park your
vehicle right away.
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 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.
