Can You Drive Without Coolant?

[GemmaLynn]

You cannot continue driving without coolant. Here is the relevant introduction to the cooling system: 1. The role of coolant: The function of coolant is to dissipate heat from the engine. Without coolant, the car's engine and radiator lose protection, affecting the heat dissipation of the radiator. The engine temperature will keep rising without effective cooling, and the normal circulation of antifreeze will be disrupted. Continuing to drive under such conditions may cause severe engine damage. In cold climates, it can also lead to the engine or radiator freezing, resulting in engine failure and rendering the vehicle inoperable. 2. The optimal coolant level: The coolant reservoir usually has 'max' (maximum level) and 'min' (minimum level) markings. If the coolant level is below the 'min' mark, it indicates insufficient coolant, and it needs to be replenished promptly. The ideal amount of coolant to add should be between the 'max' and 'min' levels.
