What to Do When the Water Temperature Warning Light Comes On?

[SanMadelyn]

When the water temperature warning light comes on, you should stop and check the vehicle. Here are the relevant instructions: Stop Without Turning Off the Engine: Park the vehicle in a safe area and do not turn off the engine. Let the engine continue running at idle speed, and open the hood to allow heat to dissipate. If you see steam rising from the hood, observe first and avoid opening it hastily to prevent burns. Check the Coolant: First, check if the coolant level in the auxiliary tank is too low. Open the engine hood and inspect the coolant level in the auxiliary tank. If the coolant level is below the 'min' line, it indicates that the coolant is insufficient.
