If you get the overheat warning with no sign of steam,
try this for a minute or so:
1. Turn off your air conditioner.
2. Dial temperature control to the highest heat setting
3. If you're in a traffic jam, shift to NEUTRAL
(N);
and open the windows, as necessary.
otherwise, shift to the highest gear while
driving
--
DRIVE (D) or THIRD (3).
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 off the engine and get everyone out o f the
vehicle until it cools down.
You may decide not to lift the hood but to get service
help right away.
