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

{

Caution

Running the engine without
coolant may cause damage or a
fire. Vehicle damage would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.

If Steam Is Coming from the
Engine Compartment

{

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.

(Continued)

Warning (Continued)

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
could be badly burned. Stop the
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. When it is safe to do so, pull off

the road, shift to P (Park) or
N (Neutral), and let the
engine idle.

If the coolant temperature gauge is
no longer in the overheat zone, 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 and
have the cooling system checked
for proper fill and function.

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