Emergency Strategies if the Cooling System is in the Red

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Radiator

In this video, we will see the strategy to follow if the cooling system is in the red range of the gauge, meaning close to boiling. In this case, the best thing to do to cool the system is not to turn off the vehicle, but rather the opposite: we need to ensure that the car's internal radiator dissipates as much hot air as possible, so set it to maximum, and the internal cabin fan must also be at maximum: this way, we can cool the system a bit. In the meantime, try to drive at a low RPM. Once the system has dissipated the excess heat, you can turn off the vehicle.
