on.
The coolant temperature is too high or the coolant level too low if the warning
light does not go out or flashes while driving.

An audible signal sounds as a warning signal (3 peeps).
In this case, switch off the engine, check the coolant level and top up the cool-

ant, if necessary.
Do not continue your journey if for some reason it is not possible to top up the
coolant under the prevailing conditions. Keep the engine switched off and seek
assistance from a specialist garage, as it could otherwise lead to severe engine
damage.
If the coolant is within the specified range, the increased temperature may be
caused by an operating problem at the radiator fan. Check the fuse for the radia-
tor fan, replace if necessary » page
Do not continue driving if the warning light does not go off even though the

coolant level is correct and the fuse for the fan is in working order. Seek help from
a specialist garage.

WARNING
If you have to stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe dis-
■
tance from the traffic, switch off the engine and activate the hazard warning
light system » page 49.
Carefully open the coolant expansion bottle. If the engine is hot, the cooling
■
system is pressurized - risk of scalding! It is therefore best to allow the engine
to cool down before removing the cap.
Do not touch the radiator fan. The radiator fan may switch itself on auto-
■
matically even if the ignition is off.
