Coolant Temperature
When the ignition key is turned to the “ON”
position, the coolant thermometer will display
engine coolant temperature. If the engine
coolant temperature is too low, the thermometer
pointer will remain at the “L” (low) position
until the engine warms up, In normal driving
conditions, the instrument scale should be in the
middle about -90°- position. When the engine
runs under a high
load and the ambient temperature is very high,
the coolant temperature will rise and the
corresponding scale reading will also increase.
When the coolant temperature is too high, the
pointer will point to the
red area and the warning light will be lit,
reminding the driver that the vehicle has a fault.
At this time, be sure to immediately stop the
vehicle if it is safe to do so, turn off the engine,
wait for the coolant to cool down and then
check the coolant level.
If the coolant level is normal, it may be that a
radiator fan fault has caused the system to
overheat. Check to see whether the radiator fan
fuse has smelt and make replacement if
necessary.
After the coolant temperature warning light is lit
again after driving over a short distance, you
must immediately stop the vehicle in a safe
place, turn off the engine and contact an
authorized BAIC dealership as soon as possible
to have the system checked
