If you no longer have the overheat warning, you can drive. Just to be safe,

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

To get the right reading, the fluid should be at normal.operating
temperature, which is
180 " F .to -200 " F (82' C to 93 " C).
To check transmission fluid hot: Get the.vehicle warmed up by driving
about
15 miles (24 km) when outside temperatures are above 50°F
(10" C). If it's colder than 50°F (10" C), drive the vehicle in "D" (3rd
Gear) until the engine temperature gage moves and then remains steady
for ten minutes. Then follow the hot check procedures.
To check transmission fluid cold: A cold check is made after the vehicle
has been sitting for eight hours or more with the engine
off and is used
only as a reference. Let the engine run at idle for five minutes
if outside
temperatures are
50 " F (10 " C) or more. If it's colder than 50 " F (10 " C),
you may have to idle the engine longer. Should the fluid level be low
during a cold checkj you must perform a hot check before adding fluid.
This will give you a more accurate reading
of the fluid level.
