of f the engine. Wait until you see
no more signs of steam or spray,
then open the hood.
If you do not see steam or spray,
leave the engine running, and

does, wait until the temperature
gauge comes down to the midpoint,
then continue driving.

temperature gauge should stay in
the midrange. If it climbs to the red
mark, you should determine the
reason.

take immediate action. The only
indication may be the temperature
gauge climbing to or above the red
mark. Or you may see steam or
spray coming f rom under the hood.
