Notice: If your engine catches ﬁre because you

keep driving with no coolant, your vehicle can

be badly damaged. The costly repairs would not be

covered by your warranty. See Overheated Engine

Protection Operating Mode on page 5-26 for

information on driving to a safe place in an

emergency.

If No Steam Is Coming From Your

Engine

An overheat warning can indicate a serious problem.

If you get an engine overheat warning, but see or hear

no steam, the problem may not be too serious.

Sometimes the engine can get a little too hot when you:

• Climb a long hill on a hot day.

• Stop after high-speed driving.

• Idle for long periods in traffic.

• Tow a trailer.

If you get the overheat warning with no sign of steam,

try this for a minute or so:

1. If the air conditioner is on, turn it off.

2. Turn on your heater to full hot at the highest fan

speed and open the windows as necessary.

3. Try to minimize engine load. If you are in a traffic

jam, shift to NEUTRAL (N); otherwise, shift to the

highest gear while driving.

If you no longer have the overheat warning, you can

drive. Just to be safe, drive slower for about ten minutes.

If the warning does not come back on, you can drive

normally.

If the warning continues and you have not stopped, pull

over, stop, and park your vehicle right away.

If there is still no sign of steam, you can idle the engine

for three minutes while you are parked. If you still have

the warning, turn off the engine and get everyone

out of the vehicle until it cools down. Also, see

“Overheated Engine Protection Operating Mode” later in

this section.

You may decide not to lift the hood but to get service

help right away.
