In an Emergency
Engine Overheating
To reduce potentially overheating
of the engine in city traffic, while
stationary, place the transmission in
N (Neutral), but do not increase the
engine idle speed.
NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to
slow down an impending overheat
condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on,
turn it off. The A/C system adds heat
to the engine cooling system and
turning the A/C off can help remove
this heat
• You can also turn the temperature
control to maximum heat, the mode
control to floor and the blower
control to high. This allows the
heater core to act as a supplement
to the radiator and aids in removing
heat from the engine cooling system.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system
could damage the engine. If the
temperature gauge is positioned
on the red zone “H” (refer to “TFT
Display Areas" in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”) and the
red warning light comes on, pull
over and stop the vehicle. Idle the
vehicle with the air conditioner turned
off until the temperature gauge drops
back into the normal range. If the
temperature gauge remains on the red
zone “H” and the red
warning
light stays on, turn the engine off
immediately and contact the
Service
Network .
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by
hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or
steam from your radiator. If you see
or hear steam coming from under the
hood, do not open it until the radiator
has had time to cool. Never try to
open a coolant bottle pressure cap
(refer to "Maintenance Procedures"
in section "Maintenance and Care")
when the radiator is overheated.
In case of a Punctured Tire
The vehicle can be equipped with
a tire repair kit or with a compact
spare wheel, depending on the
destination markets and on customer
requirements.
Using Tire Repair Kit
Small punctures up to 6 mm (1⁄4")
in the tire tread can be sealed using
the tire repair kit, fitted beneath
the ground coverage of the boot
compartment.
The kit consists of two parts:
• an electric compressor with pressure
gauge and power cable;
• a bottle containing sealant with hose
to be connected to the punctured
tire.
