Renault Kangoo 1998 Manual page 187

FAULTS
(continued)
On the road
• The power assisted
becomes heavy.
• The engine overheats. The coolant
temperature indicator light comes
on (or the gauge needle moves into
the red zone).
Radiator: never fill a hot radiator with cold coolant if a considerable quantity has been lost. After any operation
on the vehicle which has involved even partial draining of the cooling system, it must be refilled with a new
mixture prepared in the correct proportions. Reminder: only products approved by RENAULT's Technical
Department may be used for this purpose.

CAUSES
steering Belt broken.
Insufficient oil in the pump
Water pump: belt stretched or broken.
Faulty engine cooling fan.
Coolant leaks.
REMEDIAL ACTION
Have the belt replaced.
Top up the power-assisted steering oil
(refer to the information entitled
"Power-assisted steering pump level"
in Section 4).
If the fault is still present, contact a
RENAULT Dealer.
Stop the vehicle and switch off the
engine. Contact a RENAULT Dealer.
Check the condition of the hoses and
that the clips are correctly tightened.

not to scald yourself. This action is
only temporary: contact
RENAULT Dealer as soon as possible.
