On the road 4-3
High engine temperature
!
WARNING:
It is unsafe to run the engine in an
overheated condition.
The first indication of high engine
temperature will be the needle entering
the RED zone of the coolant gauge and
the illumination of the engine over
temperature warning light.
If driving, pull to the side of the road and
stop the engine when it is safe to do so.
Allow the engine to cool.
To assist cooling, high engine
temperature automatically turns off the
air conditioning. To maintain some
cooling it is advisable to switch the air
distribution to ‘recirculation’.
If a message centre is fitted the light will
illuminate and a message will be
displayed.
Low coolant level
Illuminates when the engine coolant level
is low.
If a message centre is fitted the light will
not illuminate but instead a message will
be displayed.
!
WARNING:
Do not remove the coolant reservoir
filler cap while the engine is hot. If it
is essential, then protect your hands
against escaping steam. SLOWLY turn
the cap anti-clockwise to allow the
steam pressure to escape completely
before removing the cap.
Low oil pressure
This illuminates with the ignition
switched ON and should be extinguished
when the engine is running.
If the warning light stays ON when the
engine is running, loss of oil pressure is
indicated. STOP the engine immediately
and investigate the cause.
Caution: Do not restart the engine
until the cause of loss of oil pressure
has been identified and rectified.
First check the engine oil level, see
page 7-6.
