WARNING

Steam from an overheated engine
can burn you badly, even if you
just open the hood. Stay away
from the engine if you see or hear
steam coming from it. Just turn it
off and get everyone away from
the vehicle until it cools down.
Wait until there is no sign of
steam or coolant before you open
the hood.

If you keep driving when the
engine is overheated, the liquids
in it can catch fire. You or others

engine if it overheats, and get out
of the vehicle until the engine
is 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.

2. Turn the heater on to the highest

temperature and to the highest
fan speed. Open the windows as
necessary.

3. In heavy traffic, let the engine

idle in N (Neutral) while stopped.
If it is safe to do so, pull off the
road, shift to P (Park) or
N (Neutral), and let the
engine idle.

2.0L L4 Engine

If the engine coolant temperature
gauge is no longer in the overheat
zone or the engine coolant
temperature warning light no longer
displays, the vehicle can be driven.
Continue to drive the vehicle slowly
for about 10 minutes. Keep a safe
vehicle distance from the vehicle in
front. If the warning does not come
back on, continue to drive normally.

2.4L L4 Engine with or without
eAssist

If the engine coolant temperature
warning light no longer displays, the
vehicle can be driven. Continue to
drive the vehicle slowly for about
10 minutes. Keep a safe vehicle
distance from the vehicle in front.
If the warning does not come back
on, continue to drive normally.
