Stopping the engine while driving
1. Reduce speed gradually. Take the car to a safe place.
2. Turn on the alarm.
3. Try to start the engine.
Note: When the engine is not running, the brake and steering boosters will not work, so the steering and brake system will require more effort on the part of the driver than usual.
Engine overheating
Note: the role of the engine coolant temperature gauge, shows overheating, you feel a loss of power or a noise such as a slight metallic knock is heard, then the engine is probably overheated.
1. Drive the car to a safe place. Set the AKNP selector to position "R" and apply the parking brake. Turn off the air conditioner if it is in use.
2. If you pull out coolant or steam from under the hood, the engine must be stopped. Wait until the boil has subsided before opening the hood.
Attention:
- If the coolant does not boil or splash out, keep the engine running.
- To avoid thermal burns, leave the hood closed until steam escapes. Escaping steam or coolant is a sign of very high pressure.
3. Make sure the electric fan is working. Visually check for obvious leaks from the radiator, hoses, and under the vehicle.
Note: It is normal for water and air conditioner to leak out if it is cooling.
Caution: Be careful to keep hands and clothing away from the fan and drive belts while the engine is running.
4. If there is a coolant leak, stop the engine immediately.
5. If there are no leaks, then check the expansion tank. If it is empty, then add coolant while the engine is running. Fill it up to about half.
Note: Do not attempt to remove the radiator filler cap when the engine and radiator are hot. You can get severe burns.
6. After the coolant temperature returns to normal, check the coolant level in the expansion tank again. If necessary, fill it up to half. A large loss of coolant means there is a leak in the cooling system of the engine.
