.

The vehicle may also display a message on
the Driver Information Center (DIC).

If the decision is made not to lift the hood
when this warning appears, get service help
right away.

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 fan is running. If the engine is
overheating, the fan should be running. If it
is not, do not continue to run the engine.
Have the vehicle serviced.

Caution

Do not run the engine if there is a leak
in the engine cooling system. This can
cause a loss of all coolant and can
damage the system and vehicle. Have
any leaks fixed right away.

If Steam Is Coming from the Engine
Compartment

{

Warning

Steam and scalding liquids from a hot
cooling system are under pressure.
Turning the pressure cap, even a little,
can cause them to come out at high
speed and you could be burned. Never
turn the cap when the cooling system,
including the pressure cap, is hot. Wait
for the cooling system and pressure cap
to cool.

If No Steam Is Coming from the Engine
Compartment

If an engine overheat warning is displayed
but no steam can be seen or heard, the
problem may not be too serious. Sometimes
the engine can get a little too hot when the
vehicle:

.

Climbs a long hill on a hot day.

.

Stops after high-speed driving.

.

Idles for long periods in traffic.

If the overheat warning is displayed with no
sign of steam:

1. Turn the air conditioning off.
