What to Do When a Buick Engine Overheats and Requests Idling?
1 Answers
Here are the solutions for when a Buick displays an engine overheating warning and requests idling: 1. Idle the car without turning it off: Open the hood, turn on the heater to dissipate heat as quickly as possible, and if conditions allow, park the car in a shaded area. 2. Check the coolant: Inspect the radiator hoses for any leaks and then check if the coolant level is sufficient. If there is no available coolant in the car, mineral water can be used as a temporary substitute, but it should be replaced with new coolant afterward. 3. Do not add coolant immediately: Boiling water in a sealed container creates pressure. If the radiator cap is opened immediately after the water boils, the internal pressure can cause the boiling water to spray out, potentially causing burns.
