Do not turn it off. It might save you from overheating the engine on a
very hot day or fan failure. When you see the coolant temperature rise
expectantly turn on the heating with the heater fan full blast for some
extra cooling of the engine (but over heating the driver and SWMBO).
However check first if there is any coolant in the system at all.
