What should I do if my Kia Stonic's engine is overheating?

I've noticed that the temperature gauge on my Kia Stonic is reaching the red zone and the engine is making strange noises. What could be causing this and what can I do to prevent any damage?

Firstly, check your coolant levels. If they are low, top them up with a 50/50 mix of coolant and water. This will help regulate the temperature of your engine.

If your coolant levels are fine, the issue could be with your water pump or thermostat. It's best to take it to a certified mechanic to have it checked out.

Make sure you are not using your air conditioning on the highest setting as this can put extra strain on your engine and cause it to overheat. Try using it on a lower setting instead.
