Most modern cars have electric fans which are designed to operate only when the engine is nearing the boil-over point. Cooling is accomplished most of the time by air moving through the radiator as a result of the vehicle's velocity. When sitting in traffic, or climbing a hill, the fan should operate when the coolant temperature reaches a preset value.
