OVERHEATING
If the engine coolant temperature gauge
shows an overheating condition or you have
another reason to suspect the engine may
be overheating, stop and park the vehicle.
The air conditioning must be off. Leave the
engine idling for a few minutes and check
that the cooling fan is operating.
If the fan is not operating, turn the ignition
off and consult your Daewoo Dealer imme-
diately.
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. Con-
sult Daewoo Dealer immediately.
WARNING
Steam from an overheated engine
can burn you badly.
• If steam is seen, don't go to front
of vehicle. Get everyone away from
the vehicle.
• Switch off engine.
• Allow engine to cool.
• Open engine hood when steam is
no longer visible.
• Do not remove coolant surge tank
cap until the engine and radiator
are cool.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE 7–9
BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID
The brake fluid reservoir includes the clutch
fluid reservoir.
Brake/clutch fluid is hygroscopic, and thus
absorbs moisture. Excessive moisture in the
brake/clutch fluid may adversely affect the
safety of the hydraulic brake/clutch system.
The fluid change intervals specified in this
book must therefore be observed.
The fluid level in the container must not be
higher than the MAX mark or lower than
the MIN mark.
If the level falls below the MIN mark, add
the fluid to the MAX mark with the speci-
fied brake/clutch fluid.
Low fluid level can indicate a leak in the
brake /clutch system. Have the system
checked at nearest Daewoo Dealer.
