OVERHEATING

If the engine coolant temperature gauge
Capacity
shows an overheating condition or you have
another reason to suspect the engine may
9.0~9.5L be overheating, stop and park the vehicle.
The air conditioning must be off. Leave the
engine idling for a few minutes and check
10.5~11.0L
that the cooling fan is operating.
10.0~10.5L
If the fan is not operating, turn the ignition
off and consult your Ssangyong Dealer im-
11.0~11.5L
mediately.
If the fan is operating and if steam is not
coming from the engine compartment, open
the engine hood and idle the engine until it
cools.
If the fan is operating but the temperature is
not lowered, stop the engine and let it cool.
Then, check the coolant level. If it's low,
check for leaks in the radiator hoses and
connections, heater hoses and connections,
radiator, and water pump.
If you find a leak or other damage, or if cool-
ant is still leaking, do not run the engine until
these problems have been corrected.
Consult Ssangyong Dealer immediately.
