In which situation should you pull over and stop in a safe place and call for help?

When the temperature warning light comes on, the engine is overheating or the cooling system has a problem. This is a serious safety risk because continuing to drive can cause significant engine damage or even a fire. Pull over to a safe spot as soon as possible, turn off the engine to begin cooling, and call for help if the temperature doesn’t start to drop or you can’t identify the problem. The other options aren’t urgent mechanical emergencies: tailgating is a dangerous driving situation you handle by increasing space, brake function being normal means there’s no overheating issue, and adjusting the radio isn’t an emergency.
