First check to see if the cooling fan operates and the coolant reserve tank and radiator are full, a good way to check the fan is to turn on the air conditioning, the fan should come on and run continuosly, listen for it. If the fan is working, then you either have a restriction in the cooling system, such as partially clogged radiator or hose, or a worn water pump impeller that is not pushing enough coolant through the engine. Have it checked by a reputable repair shop.

this vehical has electric fans that run on a thermostat when not moving they do not draw enough air into the engine compartment to cool it when you drive it you are getting more air the wheather outside will make them react differently so you may not notice it all the time
