NOTICE:

If your engine catches fire because you keep

driving with no coolant, your vehicle can be

badly damaged. The costly repairs would not be

covered by your warranty. See “Overheated

Engine Protection Operating Mode” in the Index.

If No Steam Is Coming From Your Engine

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:

Climb a long hill on a hot day.

Stop after high

-speed driving.

Idle for long periods in traffic.

Tow a trailer.

If you get the overheat warning with no sign of steam,

try this for a minute or so:

1. If your air conditioner is on, turn it off.

2. 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

-- AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D).

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, idle the engine for

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.

You may decide not to lift the hood but to get service

help right away.
