Check your cooling unit. You may want to clean out the unit by draining and flushing it.Also check your thermostat to see if it is bad.After you have done that and you are still having problems take it to a shop and have it looked at.

It sounds like you have a cooling system issue. You should flush and bleed the cooling system. You may also replace something like the thermostat if it happens again.

Get off the road quickly as possible. Qverheated car can damage the motor in minutes. After the car stops let it cool down check radiator. Don't open radiator while hot

Check your fuses. Verify you have adequate water in the vehicle. If all seems to be ok, when cool, you may want to verify that you don't have any leaks. Also check the thermostate for proper function.

Start by making sure your engine metal temperature switch is working correctly. Then check your coolant level, coolant mixture, thermostat, and cooling fan. Also make sure your radiator is in good shape and not obstructed.

Stop driving immediately! Check fluid levels! If ok, check fluid flow, belt etc. If all checks ok look at temp sensor as the culprit.
