Why is the engine of my Kia Picanto overheating?

I've noticed that the temperature gauge on my Kia Picanto is constantly showing that the engine is overheating. What could be the cause of this and how can I fix it?

It is possible that your engine coolant level is low. Check the coolant reservoir and top it up if necessary. It is important to use the recommended coolant for your Kia Picanto.

Another possible cause could be a faulty thermostat. This should be replaced by a professional mechanic to ensure it is done correctly.

If your Kia Picanto is an older model, it could be due for a radiator flush. Over time, the coolant can become contaminated and lose its effectiveness in keeping your engine cool.

Have you recently checked your fan belt? If it is worn or loose, it can affect the performance of your cooling system.
