Which statement about engine overheating and brake care is NOT correct?
💡 Hint
Remember that the cooling system of an overheated engine is under very high pressure and temperature, and think about what to check and when it is safe to do so. Also remember that using only the foot brake on a long downhill can overheat the brakes and reduce braking power.
Answer: ③
Explanation
An overheated engine's cooling system is under high pressure, so opening the radiator cap right away can spray scalding coolant and cause burns; check only after the engine has cooled. On long descents, relying only on the foot brake overheats the brakes and reduces braking power, so use the engine brake too.
