Turn off your air conditioner and turn the heater on to maximum heat and maximum fan speed. 2. If you're in a traffic jam, shift to N (Neutral). 3. Pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. Allow the engine to idle for a few minutes. If the coolant temperature gage still shows an overheated condition, pull over, stop and park your vehicle right away. If there is still no sign of steam, run the engine at idle speed for about five minutes while you are parked. If the overheat warning continues, turn off the engine and get everyone out of the vehicle right away. See "Overheat Protection Mode" later in this section for information. CAUTION An electric cooling fan can start even if the engine is not running. Be careful around any underhood electric fan. If the coolant in the surge tank has been boiling, do not touch it until it has cooled down. The vehicle should be parked on a level surface. The coolant level can be checked by looking at the see-through surge tank without having to remove the cap. . . . 360
