Can the BMW 3 Series Continue Driving with Coolant Warning?
1 Answers
It is not advisable to continue driving when the coolant warning light is on. Here is additional information: Continuing to drive may cause the engine temperature to rise further, potentially damaging the engine. To avoid unnecessary losses and ensure safety, it is best not to proceed with driving. Below are the reasons for coolant warnings: Overheating: If the coolant warning is due to high engine temperature, it is recommended to pull over, keep the engine idling, open the hood, and allow it to cool down until the temperature warning disappears. Low Coolant Level: If the warning is caused by insufficient coolant and no coolant is available for immediate replenishment, you can add an appropriate amount of purified water, preferably soft water (distilled water). Do not use tap water or other hard water, and avoid adding too much, as it may alter the coolant's boiling point.
