Correct answer
- BQue el motor está demasiado caliente.That the engine is too hot.
When the engine temperature warning light comes on, it means the engine is too hot. This is crucial to avoid serious engine damage, because overheating can lead to major mechanical failures. The rules say vehicles must have warning systems that alert the driver to dangerous operating conditions, such as excessive temperature, to protect the vehicle and its occupants.
