How Long Can You Drive with Coolant Warning?
1 Answers
You should not drive when the coolant warning is on. The coolant warning indicates that the radiator temperature may be too high, or the vehicle may be low on coolant. For safety reasons, the car should not continue to be driven under these circumstances. Continuing to drive with a coolant warning can cause engine damage. If the engine is not cooled for an extended period, it may suffer internal damage. Owners must regularly check the car's cooling system and coolant levels. Situations involving coolant warnings: 1. If the warning is due to the engine temperature being too high, the owner can pull over to the side of the road, keep the engine idling, open the hood, and let it cool down. 2. If the coolant level is insufficient, simply add more coolant. If coolant is not available, you can add an appropriate amount of purified water, but do not overfill.
