Chery A1 2008, Operating Instructions Manual, Page: 35 / 176

INTRODUCTION OF DRIVING
After parking and turning off
the engine, the radiator fan will
continue to run a period of time
(about 10 minutes) because the
engine is still in a superheating status
and it will stop running until the
engine cools to a certain temperature.
Even so, the fan may start suddenly
due to temperature rise of the engine
compartment caused by temperature
of outside surroundings (under
isolation or in high temperature
region). Therefore, be careful when
working in the engine compartment
to avoid any accidents!
TECHNICAL
CONDITION OF THE
CAR
Under the pressure of tire or the poor
maintenance of the engine, the car will
also cause the fuel consumption.
KEY POINTS FOR

RADIATOR FAN
The radiator fan is an electrodynamic one
and its working status is controlled by
ECU of the engine. The switch will
automatically turn on the fan circuit when
the coolant or engine compartment reaches
a certain temperature.
