While driving in summer, it is advisable to avoid high speeds - this will prevent the engine from getting overheated.

If the coolant hose in the engine cooling system malfunctions, there are chances that it may burst and drain the entire coolant outside. So, if you notice that the coolant hose is in bad shape, better change it immediately.
This step will also ensure that the engine does not get overheated.
It is also advisable to keep regular check on the coolant quantity. If it is less, it is better to check for any leakage. If leakage is confirmed, it is better to take the vehicle to the workshop and arrest the leakage immediately. This will ensure the smooth functioning of the cooling system preventing the engine from getting overheated.

So, following the various tips given above to keep the efficient performance of the engine cooling system will not only prevent the engine from overheating but also it will give the engine a longer life.
