•
Applicable to all engines:
After the engine has been subjected
to a heavy load, or has been running
for a long period of time, it should not
be stopped immediately. It should be
allowed to lie idle for approximately
2 minutes before turning off, in order
to prevent a build up of heat.
Warning
Once the engine has been
stopped it is possible that the fan
(even with the ignition off) may
continue to operate for a while (up
to ten minutes). It is also possible
that, after a certain time, the fan
may suddenly start up again
whenever:
– the temperature of the coolant
rises owing to heat build-up, or
– the engine compartment is addi-
tionally heated when, if already
hot, the car is parked under
intense sunlight.
For this reason, extreme care
should be taken when working on
the engine compartment.
•
Applicable for versions with cat-
alytic converter*:
The ignition should not be turned off
while the vehicle is still moving with a
gear engaged; otherwise, unburnt
fuel could reach the converter and be
burnt there, resulting in overheating.
