Recognizing the Signs of an Overheating Car
Before diving into the steps you should take, it's important to recognize the signs of an overheating car. Look out for the temperature gauge rising to the "H" or a warning light on your dashboard. You may also notice steam coming from under the hood or a strange smell, indicating coolant leaks.
Immediate Actions to Take
- Pull over safely and turn off your engine to prevent further damage.
- Do not open the hood immediately—wait for the engine to cool down.
- Check the coolant level and top it up if necessary once it's safe.
