What should you do if your vehicle starts to overheat?

Turn on the air conditioning to cool down the engine.
Increase your speed to create more airflow.
Pull over and turn off the engine to let it cool down.
Add cold water to the radiator while the engine is running.

The correct answer is: Pull over and turn off the engine to let it cool down.

When a vehicle starts to overheat, it is important to handle the situation safely and effectively. Option A, turning on the air conditioning, will not actually cool down the engine and may cause it to overheat even more. Option B, increasing speed to create more airflow, is also not a recommended solution as it may put additional strain on the engine. Option D, adding cold water to the radiator while the engine is running, can cause further damage to the engine and should be avoided. The best course of action is to pull over and turn off the engine to allow it to cool down. This will prevent any further damage to the engine and allow it to cool down properly.
