On the road 4-3

High engine temperature

!

WARNING:

It is unsafe to run the engine in an
overheated condition.

The first indication of high engine

temperature will be the needle entering

the RED zone of the coolant gauge and

the illumination of the engine over

temperature warning light.
If driving, pull to the side of the road and

stop the engine when it is safe to do so.

Allow the engine to cool.
To assist cooling, high engine

temperature automatically turns off the

air conditioning. To maintain some

cooling it is advisable to switch the air

distribution to ‘recirculation’.
If a message centre is fitted the light will

illuminate and a message will be

displayed.

Low coolant level

Illuminates when the engine coolant level

is low.
If a message centre is fitted the light will

not illuminate but instead a message will

be displayed.

!

WARNING:

Do not remove the coolant reservoir
filler cap while the engine is hot. If it
is essential, then protect your hands
against escaping steam. SLOWLY turn
the cap anti-clockwise to allow the
steam pressure to escape completely
before removing the cap.

Low oil pressure

This illuminates with the ignition

switched ON and should be extinguished

when the engine is running.
If the warning light stays ON when the

engine is running, loss of oil pressure is

indicated. STOP the engine immediately

and investigate the cause.

Caution:

Do not restart the engine

until the cause of loss of oil pressure
has been identified and rectified.
First check the engine oil level, see

page 7-6.
