Big O’ Tires Arizona is committed to keeping your car in top condition, whether you need new tires or advice on avoiding overheating your engine. You can prevent serious damage to your car by avoiding overheating the engine.
If you notice your temperature gauge is rising or if a light comes on to indicate that it’s overheating, take these steps to prevent it from overheating. 1. Turn off the A/C or defroster and turn on the heat. 2. Set the vent to blow the fan at the highest setting. 3. Avoid any fast accelerations and stops. When you’re driving in heavy traffic or in extremely hot weather, there are some steps you can take to avoid overheating. If you’re idling, turn your engine off.
If you’re in stop and go traffic, pull over, turn off your car, and open the hood. Don’t open the radiator cap while your engine is hot, otherwise you risk getting burned from the steam. Check your car’s coolant reservoir tank, fill it with coolant or with water. Most importantly, don’t drive the car if there is no coolant it could cause serious engine damage.
