We need to make sure this is white and black smoke. Normally it is hard to tell it is both white and black because then it just looks gray so we need to make sure it is not blue smoke. Maybe get a video of the smoke and we will get on the same page.

Here are some guides that talks about each type of smoke:

Once we have a better idea what this is, we need to check coolant and oil levels and go from there. We don't have a manual on your vehicle but I am sure we can figure out what is going on. Thanks
