Its false, you cannot safely remove the radiator cap as long as the engine is overheated.
Even at normal operating temperature, the pressure in the system will be enough to severely scald you.
As long as the engine is cold you can remove the radiator cap DO NOT open it just after you have been driving even for a short distance, open it only when engine has been stopped long enough that coolant is air temperature (Like first thing in the morning before you have driven anywhere)
A radiator cap is a mechanical unit that assists to control the high pressure of the hot coolant inside the radiator. This cap adjusts the maximum pressure and prevents the radiator and hoses from being damaged. The efficient working of the radiator cap is very important to control the pressure inside the cooling system.
As the radiator cap damages or leaks, it produces different symptoms. A faulty radiator cap generates one of the below-given signs:
1) Coolant Leak
The coolant leak may cause due to a bad radiator cap. As the cap clogs, high pressure builds up inside the radiator that may lead to coolant leaks through the cooling system parts.
A coolant leak is definitely present if you observe coolant near the radiator cap.
