Engine overheating
The coolant temperature indicator
message is displayed in the
instrument panel. This message
indicates the engine temperature
increasing.
Note
If the engine operates without
coolant, your vehicle may be
seriously damaged. In this case, the
repairs will not be covered by
warranty.
Engine overheating without
steam
If an overheating warning comes up
and there is no steam visible, the
problem may not be that serious.
Sometimes the engine overheats
when:
■ The vehicle is driven in abrupt climb
at high ambient temperatures.
■ The vehicle is stopped after driving
at high speeds.
■ The vehicle has been driven at idle
speed for a long distance.
If the overheating warning remains
and still no steam is visible, observe
the following procedure for
approximately 1 minute:
1. Switch off the air conditioning
system.
2. Try to keep the engine under load
(use a gear in which the engine
rotates slowly).
If the warning of overheating
disappears, you can continue driving.
For safety reasons, drive slowly for
approximately 10 minutes.
If the temperature gauge indicator
drops to normal position, continue
driving.
If the coolant temperature does not
drop, stop the engine and park the
vehicle immediately.
If no steam is visible, switch on the
engine at idle speed for
approximately 2 or 3 minutes with the
vehicle stopped and observe if the
overheating warning lights go off.
If the overheating warning still
appears, switch off the engine, ask
the passengers to leave the vehicle
and wait for it to cool down. You can
decide whether to open the engine
compartment, but look for technical
assistance immediately. If you open
the engine compartment, check the
coolant surge tank.
Caution
If the coolant inside the coolant
surge tank is boiling, do not do
anything and wait for it to cool
down.
The coolant level should be the
specified level. If the level falls down,
it means that there might be a
possibility of leaks on the radiator
hoses, heater hoses, radiator or
water pump.
