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 (

B

) or THIRD (3).

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.

You may decide not to lift the hood but to get service
help right away.
