Engine overheating
If the engine overheats, the engine emits
pinging noises and engine performance
drops noticeably as well as the engine coolant
temperature gauge indicates overheating.
In this case, observe the following WARNINGS
and follow the procedure described.

WARNING
To help reduce the risk of burn or
serious bodily injury;
• Allow the engine to cool before
checking any component in the
engine compartment.
• Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap when the engine and radiator
are still hot. As the radiator cap is
of the pressurized type, hot coolant
will splash out.
• Do not open the hood if steam is
coming out.
• Never touch or come close to the
radiator fan blades when the engine
is running.
6. Check the cooling water for the proper
amount, the fan belt for looseness, the
radiator core (heat radiating section) for
visible contamination or adhesion of dirt.
7. Add coolant if the coolant level is
insufficient. (See Section 14)
8. Have the vehicle checked by an
authorised Perodua Service Centre as
soon as possible.
The engine is more prone to overheat
in hot weather. The following should be
checked regularly:
• Water leakage in the cooling system
• Water level of the radiator and reserve
tank
• Radiator fin clogging
• Drive belt tension
If the engine overheats frequently, have the
cooling system checked by an authorised
Perodua Service Centre.
1. Park the vehicle on a safe place and turn
the air conditioner off.
2. If steam is coming out from the hood, stop
the engine. Keep the hood closed until no
steam comes out from the hood. When
no steam comes out any more, open the
hood so that the inside can be ventilated.
3. Visually inspect the engine compartment.
If the engine compartment exhibits any of
the following, stop the engine immediately
and contact an authorised Perodua
Service Centre or repairer or, another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
• If the cooling fan does not rotate:
• If vapor or hot water leaks from hoses,
etc.:
• If the radiator reserve tank has no water:
• If the v-belt is snapped:
4. Stop the engine when the water
temperature warning light illuminate.
5. After the engine has cooled completely,
check the components.
