What to do when your vehicle overheats?
If your car overheats, it can create a number of problems. For example, if your car's air conditioning has stopped working, there might be an overheating problem. Stop driving if you see that the temperature display has shifted to the "hot" side. Cars with an overheated engine can suffer catastrophic damage. They can't explode instantly but driving with an overheated engine can lead to costly repairs. Instead of risking costly repairs later, stop and fix the problem as soon as possible.

You can cool the engine down in a car repair shop by adding about ½ cup of water to a shallow container of antifreeze.
Leakage issues:
If your cooling system's water/antifreeze levels are consistently low, you have a leak somewhere. In this case, see a mechanic immediately. They will locate the leak and provide you with a reasonable repair cost estimate.
You might need a hose replacement:
The hoses that circulate the coolant can become clogged or loosened over time. Even the smallest blockage prevents a sufficient amount of refrigerant from flowing. During an inspection, a mechanic can look for these and similar things.
Other reasons:
If the water and antifreeze levels are normal, your engine may have a more serious problem. Internal coolant leaks, dirt in the coolant lines, or a clogged radiator are all possibilities. If so, then you should get your car checked asap. as possible from a professional. They can identify problems early and save you money on costly repairs.
