What should you do if you are driving and your vehicle's engine overheats?

  1. Stop the vehicle and let the engine cool down.

  2. Increase your speed to get to your destination faster.

  3. Pour cold water into the radiator to cool the engine.

  4. Open the windows and continue driving.

The correct answer is: Stop the vehicle and let the engine cool down.

If your vehicle's engine overheats while driving, you should immediately pull over to a safe location and turn off the engine. It is important to let the engine cool down before attempting to open the hood and check for any issues. Pouring cold water into the radiator can cause thermal shock and potentially damage the engine, so option C is incorrect. Increasing your speed will only put more strain on the engine and worsen the overheating problem, making option B incorrect. Option D is also incorrect because opening the windows will not alleviate the issue and could be a safety hazard if you are driving on a highway or in poor weather conditions. It is important to always prioritize safety and address the issue of an overheating engine promptly to prevent any potential damage.
