Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
The temperature gauge shows that the engine is overheating. Which response is appropriate?
Correct answer: Stop safely and let it cool; never open a hot radiator cap.
Why
Move to a safe stopping place when the temperature indicates overheating and follow the vehicle’s cooling and repair instructions. Do not remove a radiator cap while the system is hot. Let it cool before any permitted inspection, and do not resume a trip with an unresolved overheating problem.
