How long can you drive with the water temperature light flashing?

[Shelly]

When the car's water temperature light flashes, it indicates that the coolant temperature has exceeded the specified value, and you should stop driving immediately. The relevant details are as follows: Function of the water temperature light: The water temperature indicator light is used to display the temperature of the coolant inside the vehicle's engine, primarily in yellow. Some models without a water temperature gauge use the color of the indicator light to show the coolant temperature: blue indicates the water temperature is too low, off means the water temperature is normal, and red indicates the water temperature is too high. Some models without a water temperature gauge use the color of the indicator light to display the coolant temperature: blue indicates the water temperature is too low, off means the water temperature is normal, and red indicates the water temperature is too high. The main reasons for water temperature light failure are as follows: Insufficient remaining coolant inside the engine: This can cause leaks in the engine, preventing the cooling system from functioning properly, which triggers the light. Malfunctioning cooling fan in the engine's cooling system: This can lead to inadequate heat dissipation during normal vehicle operation, causing the water temperature light to illuminate.
