9.82Cooling system
400335-10
The water pump in the engine forces the coolant to flow.
The pressure resulting from the warming of the cooling system is regulated by a valve
in the radiator cap . This ensures that operating the vehicle at the specified coolant
temperature will not result in a risk of malfunctions.
120 °C (248 °F)
Cooling is effected by the air stream.
The lower the speed, the less the cooling effect. Dirty cooling fins also reduce the cool-
ing effect.
