What you have to do if the car runs out of water or coolant?  Firstly, stop as soon as possible to prevent overheating from causing serious damage to the car’s engine. Cars that have electronic systems to cut off the car from the engine until it comes to a halt. These systems can kick in an event such as when engines reaches very high temperatures. At OneHowTo.com we give you an answer to the question of what to do if my car runs out of water .

Steps you can to follow:

  1. If your car runs out of water , it can lead to a serious overheating problem. Something severe enough to damage vital parts of your car’s engine. So, what you must do in this situation is to stop the vehicle as soon as possible. Do exercise caution and correctly signal to avoid accidents with other drivers and notify your insurance assistance.
  2. Many modern cars may have an advanced electronic system that monitor the vehicle health. And in case of high engine temperatures due to lack of coolant, it can stop the car with proper indication. The vehicle has sensors to detect engine overheating and cause it to stop. You will notice the car slowly losing power and an unresponsive throttle. And it may continue until the car comes to a complete stop.
  3. If you have a bottle of water you can use it to refill the radiator in the event that the car has run out of water and you have not detected that smoke came out of the engine due to overheating. However, if you are already dealing with an engine breakdown, don’t panic and do not move the car. Get in touch with a towing company to help you take the car to the nearest workshop.
  4. The operation of filling the car’s radiator with water is quite simple, although you must wait for the engine to cool down to avoid burns and, also, for the water to evaporate due to high temperatures. Leave the hood open so that the compartment cools down as soon as possible.
  5. The tank that connects to the radiator, where you must introduce the water, is usually transparent white and is connected through a hose to the radiator. First unscrew the cap without removing it all the way to release the pressure and then remove it. Add the water, screw on the cap and close the hood.
  6. When you arrive at your destination, take the car to a workshop to check that it has not suffered damage due to overheating when the car ran out of water and to have antifreeze added to the tank.
  7. To prevent your car from running out of water in the future, carry out a good maintenance task . Every 1,000 kilometers or every 2 months you should measure the coolant level of the car to check that everything is in order.
