No. If your car's temperature gauge goes into the red zone or a flashing check engine light is displayed, pull over safely, shut off the engine, and let it cool. Driving a German auto with an overheated engine can cause serious damage. And it will be especially expensive with German vehicles!
Caution! Do not attempt to add coolant to an engine that is still warm. You risk being seriously burnt by scalding-hot coolant that sprays out when the radiator cap is opened while the engine is warm. It is often best to have your vehicle towed to a repair shop if you can not wait an hour or two for the engine to cool.
