You may need to add liquid to the system, change the thermostat, adjust or replace the auxiliary belt, or inspect the water pump if your car overheats in regular weather and traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If you can see and reach the auxiliary belt that powers the water pump, make sure there are no more than 12 inches of giving. Replace the belt if it is frayed or seems to be loose. Hire a professional to do the work if you aren&#8217;t capable of doing it yourself.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The suction created by the water pump might induce a collapse in the bottom radiator hose, resulting in overheating.\u00a0Because oil removes up to 80% of the &#8220;waste heat&#8221; from your engine, a car with insufficient oil tends to\u00a0overheat.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Gasket<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If your car often overheats, the pressure cap is the first item to examine. The cooling system may fail if the gasket on the cap deteriorates, allowing pressure to escape. Most service locations can test it for you. Some overheating issues have nothing to do with the cooling system at all. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ignition system<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If your ignition system is failing, your car may overheat due to the late timing, which occurs when the spark plugs fire the fuel\/air combination after the piston has returned to its starting position. Overheating isn&#8217;t caused just by late timing, but when combined with other issues such as poor gas mileage, the engine can overheat to dangerous levels. A mechanic can use an electronic diagnostic system to examine your car&#8217;s timing and make adjustments if required.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Radiator<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Having clogged radiators means that the system is unable to cool effectively since the liquid circulation is reduced. Remove and check the radiator with the help of a radiator professional. A simple steam-cleaning of the radiator may suffice, but if you&#8217;re unlucky, a more expensive remedy may be necessary.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What to do if\u00a0my\u00a0car is overheating?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If your automobile begins to overheat, these are the five things you should do:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Activate the\u00a0heating\u00a0system<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Turning on the heating actually helps, despite the fact that it seems contradictory. As a result, the engine&#8217;s cooling system does not have to work as hard to keep the vehicle cool. In some cases, that may be sufficient to stop the overheating. Warning lights will go out, or the temperature gauge will reset when it&#8217;s operating.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Pullover immediately<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The safest and surest approach to cool your engine is to pull over and turn off the engine if your car continues to overheat after a few minutes of driving with the heater on.\u00a0It is the right time to call\u00a0your roadside assistance now in case you need a tow.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Remain\u00a0calm<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Be patient; it will take at least 15 minutes for the engine to cool down if you don&#8217;t have roadside help. In the meanwhile,\u00a0we advise you to not open the hood since the coolant will be super-hot.\u00a0It\u00a0may reach temperatures of over 230 degrees. There is a risk of being sprayed with hot water or steam if the hood is opened. Your own safety is the most crucial consideration.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Add the\u00a0coolant\u00a0slowly<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Put on gloves, open\u00a0the hood, and find\u00a0the radiator cap after waiting at least 15 minutes. Make sure that\u00a0the hood is cool to the touch. Push down carefully on the cap with a cloth to remove the pressure generated up by the expansion of the coolant as it is heated. Slowly add coolant (half water, half antifreeze) until the liquid reaches the &#8220;full&#8221; line.\u00a0Adding coolant to the little, clear plastic overflow reservoir on the side of the radiator\u00a0is advised. Turn on the engine after putting the cap back on. It is best to proceed with caution and keep an eye on the temperature gauge or red warning light if the gauge returns to normal.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Get to the nearest car care facility<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When your car&#8217;s engine overheats, adding coolant doesn&#8217;t fix the problem, but it can let you get to a car care facility safely.
