Prolonged idling in heavy traffic can overheat the engine because the cooling system doesn’t get the necessary airflow o r coolant circulation. This is especially problematic in cities like Karachi and Lahore, where traffic congestion is common.

Preventive Measures:

Ensure that the cooling fans are working properly.
If stuck in traffic for extended periods, consider turning off the air conditioning to reduce the load on the engine.
Keep an eye on the temperature gauge and pull over if it starts to rise.
