Engine Overheating; When The Vehicle Overheats - SSANGYONG NEW CHAIRMAN Owner's Manual

ENGINE OVERHEATING

WHEN THE VEHICLE OVERHEATS

1. Move the vehicle safely off the road.
P
2. Move the shift lever to and apply parking brake.
3. If you see steam under the hood, stop the engine immediately.
4. If there is no steam, open the hood and leave the engine
running. However, if the gauge doesn't go down to normal
range even in idling, stop the engine and cool it down.
5. Check the coolant level.
If it's low, check for leaks in the radiator hoses and connections.

If the engine coolant temperature gauge in-
dicates overheating or you have another rea-
son to suspect that the engine may be
overheating, stop and park the vehicle.
Symptoms:
• The gauge indicates over the normal
range (or in the red zone).
• Steam or spray from the engine
compartment.
• Reduced engine output.
6. When fully cooled down, loosen the surge tank cap to re-
duce the vapor pressure, then remove the cap.
7. If necessary, cover the tank cap with a cloth and turn the
cap a little to release any pressure. After fully releasing the
pressure, remove the cap and fill up the tank. Then, put
the cap back on the tank.
8. Add coolant into the reservoir tank if necessary. If the cool-
ant level is normal, have the cooling system checked at
the nearest Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized
Workshop.
