Answer: This is a very serious problem – if your car overheats you can seriously, and quickly damage the engine. As soon as possible, find a safe place to pull off the road and shut the engine off. Do not continue to drive the car! The best thing to do is have your car towed to a repair shop.
NOTE: Do not attempt to open the radiator to check the coolant fluid level! The cooling system is under high pressure and the escaping coolant and steam can severely burn you.
