your radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not open the
hood until the radiator has had time to co ol. Never try to open a cooling system

reduce vehicle speed further as needed. Once the engine oil temperature is reduced, you
may continue to drive normally.

vehicle that is on a jack. If you need to get under a raised vehicle, take it to a
service center where it can be raised on a lift.
