Is it normal for the temperature gauge to exceed halfway?
1 Answers
The temperature gauge exceeding halfway is abnormal and indicates an overheating condition. Below are the steps to handle an overheating car temperature gauge: Find a place to park: First, find a safe and shady place to park, let the vehicle idle without turning off the engine. Open the radiator cap: Then open the hood, wait for the temperature to drop before loosening the radiator cap one notch, and wait for the internal steam pressure to fully release before opening it completely. Check components: Inspect the liquid in the radiator and the fan for any abnormalities, and check the radiator hoses for leaks and whether the coolant is sufficient. If there is no coolant in the car, you can temporarily use mineral water as a substitute. If the issue is caused by a faulty water pump, thermostat, etc., seek assistance as soon as possible.
