You will find the warning light about a hot engine on your Cadillac
instrument panel (Export
Only).
The driver information will display either “ENGINE COOLANT HOT
IDLE ENGINE” or “STOP ENGINE ENGINE OVERHEATING.”
If Steam Is Coming From Your Engine:
A CAUTION
Steam from an overheated engine can burn you badly, even if
you just open the hood. Stay
away from the engine if you see or
hear steam coming from it. Just turn it off and get everyone
away from the vehicle until
it cools down. Wait until there is no
sign of steam or coolant before opening the hood.
If you keep driving when your engine is overheated, the liquids
in it can catch fire. You or others could be badly burned. Stop
your engine
if it overheats, and get out of the vehicle until the
engine
is cool.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine IfNo 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:
Climb a long hill on a hot day.
Stop after high speed driving.
0 Idle for long periods in traffic.
0 Tow a trailer.
If you get the overheat warning with no sign
or steam, try this for a
minute or so:
1. Turn off your air conditioner.
2. Turn on your heater to full hot at the highest fan speed and open the
window as necessary.
3. Try to keep your engine under load (in a drive gear where the engine
runs slower).
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.
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 OF THE VEHICLE until it cools down.
You may decide not to lift the
hood but to get service help right away.
