Vehicle Care 213

Engine Overheating

The vehicle has an indicator to warn

of engine overheating. There is an

engine coolant temperature warning

light on the vehicle's instrument

panel. See Engine Coolant

Temperature Gauge 0 100.

The decision may be made not to lift

the hood when this warning

appears, but instead get service

help right away. See Roadside

Assistance Program 0 292.

If the decision to lift the hood is

made, make sure the vehicle is

parked on a level surface.

Then check to see if the engine

cooling fan(s) are running. If the

engine is overheating, the fan(s)

should be running. If they are not,

do not continue to run the engine

and 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.

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.

Tows a trailer.

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 temperature overheat gauge is

no longer in the overheat zone or an

overheat warning 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
