on 4/12/2009 I'm afraid you left out a very effective tip that will drop your engine temperature without even stopping the car. This is helpful when towing trailers over the mountains or through the desert.If the temperature gauge starts to rise too high, turn off the air conditioner, turn on the heater and crank up the fan to full speed. You will be able to bleed off quite a bit of heat and lower the needle. Sure, your passengers may get a little warm but, open the windows and it will save you from full blown radiator geyser.

on 9/23/2006 Turn on your heater full blast, go as fast as you can, then shut off the engine. This will force air to hit the radiator.

on 9/1/2006 Turn your heater on to decrease the temperature gauge (temporarily) until you get to a phone or the nearest stop. If this doesn't work, it's a more serious problem.

on 6/30/2006 If you notice that the temperature gauge is approaching red, then turn the air conditioning off.

on 1/18/2006 If you notice that your car is getting hot, turn your heater on full blast. This will buy you some time as the heater actually can acts like a second radiator.
