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) for an automatic
transmission or Neutral for a
manual transmission, and let the
engine idle.

If the engine coolant temperature
gauge is no longer in the overheated
area 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
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.

If there is no sign of steam, idle the
engine for three minutes while parked.
If the warning is still displayed, turn
off the engine until it cools down.

Washer Fluid

What to Use

When windshield washer fluid is
needed, be sure to read the
manufacturer's instructions before
use. If operating the vehicle in an area
where the temperature may fall below
freezing, use a fluid that has sufficient
protection against freezing.

Adding Washer Fluid

Open the cap with the washer symbol
on it. Add washer fluid until the tank
is full. See

cause the wiper blades to
chatter or skip.

.

Do not use engine coolant
(antifreeze) in the windshield
washer. It can damage the
windshield washer system
and paint.
