AS in any vehicle, if the radiator hose "blows" or simply comes off, the superheated coolant will escape and you will see what looks like smoke but is actually vapor coming out from under the hood. If it's a small tear in the hose, you might only notice it when the car is stopped. If you think you're in danger of this happening to you, it's best to replace the hose before something happens as they are relatively inexpensive. Your car will overheat if you try to drive it without the hose or any of the cooling system parts in proper working order and much more serious damage can occur. Remember to glance at your vehicles temperature gauge from time to time and have the car looked at by a mechanic if you notice anything out of the ordinary.

sounds like blockage in the cooling system. See if you are not low on coolant in the radiator. Just because your reserve tank has coo;ant does not mean that you have enough coolant in the radiator. If you have low coolant in the radiator, it will blow cold. It can happen abruptly. If you are low on coolant in the radiator and not in your reserve tank you will need to find out why the system is not pulling coolant out of the reserve tank.
