115
15.1 Cooling system
K00891-11
(TC 250)
Water pump
1
in the engine ensures forced circulation of
the coolant.
The pressure resulting from the warming of the cooling sys-
tem is regulated by a valve in radiator cap
2
. This ensures
that operating the vehicle at the specified coolant tempera-
ture will not result in a risk of malfunctions.
120 °C (248 °F)
Cooling is effected by the air stream.
The lower the speed, the less the cooling effect. Dirty cooling
fins also reduce the cooling effect.
