When the water level reaches the bottom of the air intake grille, it is considered a very dangerous situation for a vehicle. Below is an introduction to vehicle insurance: 1.

In my car, the water level actually refers to the coolant level, which shouldn't be too low, otherwise it's quite dangerous. I've personally experienced this - when the fluid drops below that minimum marking line on the radiator (usually indicating the lowest scale or marked 'MIN'), the engine tends to overheat. This triggers the coolant temperature warning light. If you continue driving on the highway under these conditions, it could lead to engine seizure or damage to cylinder head gaskets, and the repair costs won't be cheap. I make it a habit to check every time I refuel - when the engine is cold, open the radiator cap (careful not to burn yourself), and the fluid level should be above the minimum line, ideally at the midpoint between the minimum and maximum marks. If you find it low, top it up with antifreeze immediately. It's best not to casually add water to mixed coolant systems to prevent rust. This routine has saved me a lot of trouble, especially before long trips - always check beforehand, otherwise breaking down midway would be disastrous. New drivers often overlook these details, but developing a regular inspection routine ensures both safety and peace of mind.
