Smoke, fire or an overheating engine on I-80
If you see smoke or flames, get everyone out on the side away from traffic. Move well back behind the guardrail or off the road, and dial 911. If the temperature gauge climbs into the red, pull over and switch the engine off. Leave the radiator cap alone while it is hot, because the coolant can scald.

While you wait, keep the hazard lights on and stay belted in unless the car is smoking. If it sits in a live lane, dial 911 first.
