Engine overheating
If the engine power is reduced
or you hear a loud knocking
noise from the engine, it is likely
the engine is overheated.
In this case, carry out the
following instructions:
1-
Turn on the flashers and stop
the vehicle in a safe place, shift
the gear into neutral, and apply
parking brake.
2- Ensure that the A/C system
is off.
3- If the coolant or its vapor
comes out from the radiator,
turn off the engine and set the
ignition switch in ON position.
In this case, fan starts working
automatically. If the fan does
not work, consult an authorized
SAIPA dealer.
If there is a coolant leakage
from the radiator, let the engine
run in the idle condition, open
the engine hood , and wait until
the engine returns to its normal
temperature.
If the engine temperature does
not decrease, turn off the engine
until it becomes cool.
4- Check the coolant level
inside the tank, if the level is low,
check for any leakage from the
cap of the radiator, hoses, water
pump, and from the fittings of
the radiator or heater. In case of
leakage, do not turn the engine
on until removing the fault by an
authorized SAIPA dealer.
Warning
When warming up the engine,
do not open the cap of radiator,
otherwise, hot coolant sprays
out and can damage you
seriously.
If the engine overheats
continuously, check the coolant
system and repair its defects.
