Overheating is urgent
If there is a temperature warning, steam, rapid coolant loss or strong sweet smell, stop safely and consider towing.
SAPYEONG CAR CENTER · JEJU
If coolant is dropping, find the cause before just topping it up.
Coolant loss may involve hoses, radiator, water pump, reservoir, cap, heater circuit or pressure problems.
Useful clues
Note puddles, how quickly coolant drops again, traffic/uphill/A/C conditions and heater or fan changes.
Do not open hot caps
A hot cooling system can be pressurized and cause burns. Wait until the engine has cooled.
Frequently asked questions
General guidance only. The actual cause is confirmed after direct inspection.
Can I keep driving after topping up?
If coolant keeps dropping, the leak or cooling-system problem still needs diagnosis.
The warning appeared then disappeared—is it fixed?
Not necessarily. Record the conditions and have the cooling system checked.
