A display on your liquid-cooled vehicle indicates an excessively high engine temperature. What should you do now?

I stop at a suitable place as quickly as possible

I drive on slowly at a high engine speed to improve the engine cooling

I continue onwards in a low gear until I reach my next scheduled driving break

Here is Our AI Assistant's Explanation

Your answer is correct. If a liquid-cooled vehicle shows an excessively high engine temperature, you must stop as soon as it is safe to do so. Continuing to drive can cause severe engine damage because overheating can lead to a breakdown or engine failure. Stopping allows the engine to cool down and helps prevent expensive repairs. It is incorrect to keep driving, either slowly at high engine speed or in a low gear, as both can make the situation worse. Always take rising engine temperature seriously and pull over at the next safe opportunity.
