Explanation
If you see smoke coming from under the hood, safely pull off the road, turn off the ignition, and exit the vehicle immediately. Make sure all passengers get out and move away from the vehicle to a safe distance.
Do not open the hood and do not attempt to put out the fire yourself - vehicle fires are extremely dangerous. Call 911 right away and wait for emergency personnel to arrive.
