Pointer in the middle – normal operating temperature
Pointer may move up to the red area when the engine is heavily loaded and outside temperature is high.
Coolant temperature warning
If the coolant temperature is too high, the temperature gauge needle moves to the maximum mark and the temperature gauge warning light lights up.The warning message “Engine too hot Park vehicle to cool down” will also appear on the multi-function display in the instrument panel.fSwitch engine off and let it cool. fCheck radiators and air guides in front end of vehicle for obstructions.fCheck the coolant level.Top up with coolant if necessary.fHave the fault corrected.fPlease see the chapter “CHECKING THE COOLANT LEVEL AND ADDING COOLANT” on page 242.fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.
Information
To prevent excessive temperatures, the cooling air ducts must not be obstructed by covering them (e.g. with film, “stone guards”, etc.).
