If No Steam Is Coming From Your Engine

0
Idle for long periods in traffic.
Tow
a trailer. See "Driving on Grades" in the Index.
If you get the overheat warning with no sign of steam, try this for a minute
or so:
I . If you have an air conditioner, turn it off.
2.
Turn
on your heater to full hot at the highest fan speed and open the
window as necessary.
3. If you're in a traffic jam, shift to NEUTRAL (N); otherwise, shift to the
highest gear while driving - AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE
(a)
or
DRIVE (3) for automatic transmissions.
If you
no longer have
the overheat warning, you can drive. Just to be safe,
drive slower for about ten minutes. If the warning doesn't come back on,
you can drive normally.
