If
No
Steam
Is
Coming
From
Your
Engine
If you get the 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:

0
Stop after high-speed driving.
0
Idle for long periods in traffic.
0
Tow a trailer.
If you no longer have the overheat warning, you can
drive. Just
to
be safe, drive slower for about
10
minutes.
If the warning doesn’t come back on, you can
drive normally.
If
the
warning continues, pull over, stop, and park your
vehicle right away.
If there’s still no sign
of
steam, you can idle the engine
for two or three minutes while you’re parked,
to
see if
the
warning stops. But then, if you still have the
warning,
turn ofthe engine
and
get
everyone out
of
the
vehicle
until
it
cools down.
You may decide not to lift the hood but
to
get service
help right away.
