Show answer

Correct answer

  • CEnfriar el motor del vehículo.To cool the vehicle's engine.
Explanation

Coolant circulates through the engine to absorb its heat and stop it from overheating; it also protects the circuit from freezing and corrosion. The heating uses this heat, but that is not its main job, and the air conditioning uses a different circuit.
