How can I prevent my Kia Stonic from overheating?

I recently purchased a Kia Stonic and have noticed that the temperature gauge often reaches dangerous levels. What steps can I take to prevent my car from overheating?

Make sure to regularly check and replace your coolant levels. Low levels can cause an engine to overheat.

Pay attention to your temperature gauge and immediately pull over if it reaches the red zone. Continuing to drive could result in serious damage to your engine.

Check for any leaks in your cooling system and get them fixed as soon as possible. Leaks can cause a rapid loss of coolant and lead to overheating.

In hot weather, use your air conditioning sparingly as it can put extra strain on your engine.
