What is the sign of water shortage in car water tank?

The water shortage sign of the car water tank is an icon that looks like a thermometer, and there are two water ripples below it.

Water temperature indicator lamp indicates that the engine coolant temperature is too high. When this light is on, the engine should be stopped and turned off. The water temperature alarm icon lights up in red, informing the owner that the current engine temperature is too high or the coolant is too low, so it is necessary to stop and check, otherwise it will cause serious damage to the engine, and it can only continue driving after cooling to normal temperature.

Precautions:

There is no water in the water tank, and it is common for the cylinder to explode when driving continuously. This is because the engine temperature is too high to dissipate heat in time, which causes the piston to expand and get stuck in the cylinder, causing irreversible damage to the engine. In severe cases, the piston will be unable to work due to excessive pressure.

It may also cause spontaneous combustion, because the engine is running at high speed when the vehicle is running, and the heat generated is very large. If there is no water in the water tank, the engine will not be able to dissipate heat and cool in time. The engine will be damaged by high temperature, and in severe cases, it will also lead to short circuit and spontaneous combustion.
