1. Move off the road to a safe place away from traffic. Park
on a firm and level ground. Apply the parking brake and
shift the transmission to the P position (automatic
transmission) or the neutral position (manual
transmission).
2. Turn off the air conditioner or heater if used. Open the
engine hood and idle the engine until it cools.
3. If you see steam under the hood, stop the engine
immediately.
If there is no steam, open the hood and leave the engine
running in idling speed.
4. However, if the gauge doesn’t go down to the normal
range even in idling, stop the engine and cool it down.
5. Check the coolant level in the reserve tank. If it is too low,
check for leaks in the radiator hoses and connections.
6. Add coolant into the reserve tank if necessary.
7. If necessary, cover the tank cap with a cloth and turn the
cap a little to release any pressure. After fully releasing
the pressure, remove the cap and fill up the tank. Then,
put the cap back on the tank.
8. If the coolant level is normal, have the cooling system
checked by a Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized
Service Center.
• When the engine overheats because of the low coolant level,
immediately turn off the engine and let it cool down.
• Opening the reserve tank cap should be performed when the
engine is off and has cooled down.
• Scalding hot coolant and steam could be blown out under
pressure, which could cause serious injury. Never remove the
coolant reserve tank cap when the engine and the radiator are
hot.
• The engine may be damaged if you add cold water abruptly when
the engine is still hot.
• Use only Ssangyong recommended (antifreeze) coolants.
• If the problem continues, have the cooling system checked by a
Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Center.
