Can You Still Drive with Low Engine Coolant?

[Lawson]

If the engine coolant level is too low, the car should not be driven. If you need to add coolant, here are the steps to do so: 1. Wait for the engine to cool down before adding coolant. Open the hood and locate the engine coolant reservoir, usually a spherical container with a triangular thermometer-like symbol on the cap. Turn the cap counterclockwise to open it. 2. Add an appropriate amount of coolant to the reservoir, filling it to the level between the MAX and MIN marks on the reservoir for the first time. 3. Close the cap, start the car, and observe as the coolant level gradually drops. At this point, add more coolant, again filling it to the level between the MAX and MIN marks.
