It is fitted on the rear side of the cylinder head, and is used to keep the engine at the optimum
temperature:
if the temperature if less than 80 ± 2°C, the thermostatic valve (closed) diverts the fluid directly
toward the pump;
if the temperature is more than 80 ± 2°C, the thermostatic valve (open) conveys the cooling
fluid toward the radiator.
The engine water temperature sensor (connected to the injection control unit and the main
panel) is fitted onto the thermostat.
3.4.2 Water temperature control devices
Electric fans
The 2-speed electric cooling fans make it possible to increase the heat discharge capacity of
the radiator and/or air-conditioning system condenser.
They are controlled directly by the injection control unit according to a specific operating logic.

The single engine member drive belt (5) is of the poly-V type: it drives the alternator (1), water
pump (3) and air-conditioning compressor (6) (where available).
Tensioning is obtained by means of an automatic idler (2) that makes preventive maintenance
operations useless.
The drive shaft pulley (4) incorporates an elastic sector that reduces the torsion vibrations of
the drive shaft and the stress on the belt (and, therefore, on the engine’s auxiliary members).
