Engine temperature

Drive at moderate road and engine
speeds until normal operating
temperature is reached. This is indicated
when the pointer is between the blue
(cold) segment and the red (hot) segment.

The engine operating temperature will
vary with changes in weather and engine
load. The engine temperature may rise in
some circumstances, such as:
• Idling for long periods in slow moving

traffic.

• Driving up a long hill in hot weather.
• Driving slowly or stopping after driving

at high speed.

• Towing a trailer or caravan.

Should the pointer move into the red
segment (H) of the coolant gauge, stop
the vehicle as soon as it is safely possible,
turn off the engine and open the hood to
allow the engine to cool.

Caution: Serious engine damage can
occur if the vehicle is driven whilst the
engine is overheating.

!

WARNING:

The radiator cooling fans may continue
to run after the ignition has been
switched off but will automatically
switch off when the engine has cooled
sufficiently.

!

WARNING:

It is unsafe to run the engine in an
overheated condition.

!

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 counter-clockwise to allow the
steam pressure to escape completely
before removing the cap.
