IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 7–7
WARNING
•
Make sure that the battery provid-
ing the jump start has the same
voltage as the battery in your ve-
hicle (12 V).
•
If the vehicle moves abruptly dur-
ing jump starting, there could be
unexpected accidents. Before start-
ing the vehicle, apply the parking
brake and position the shift lever
to P (automatic transmission) or
neutral (manual transmission)
•
If you push to start the gasoline
engine equipped vehicle, the ex-
pensive 3-way catalytic converter
will be damaged, therefore never
attempt to start by pushing the
vehicle.
WHEN THE ENGINE IS
OVERHEATING
If the engine coolant temperature gauge
shows an overheating condition or you have
another reason to suspect the engine may
be overheating, stop and park the vehicle.
The air conditioning must be off. Leave the
engine idling for a few minutes and check
that the cooling fan is operating.
If the fan is not operating, turn the ignition
off and consult your Ssangyong Dealer im-
mediately.
If the fan is operating and if steam is not
coming from the engine compartment, open
the engine hood and idle the engine until it
cools.
If the fan is operating but the temperature is
not lowered, stop the engine and let it cool.
Then, check the coolant level. If it’s low,
check for leaks in the radiator hoses and
connections, heater hoses and connections,
radiator, and water pump.
If you find a leak or other damage, or if cool-
ant is still leaking, do not run the engine until
these problems have been corrected.
Consult Ssangyong Dealer immediately.
WARNING
Steam from an overheated engine
can burn you badly.
•
If steam is seen, don’t go to front
of vehicle. Get everyone away from
the vehicle.
•
Switch off engine.
•
Allow engine to cool.
•
Open engine hood when steam is
no longer visible.
•
Do not remove coolant surge tank
cap until the engine and radiator
are cool.
