If No Steam Is Coming from the Engine
Compartment
Sometimes the engine can overheat when
the vehicle:
Climbs a long hill on a hot day.
Stops after high-speed driving.
If the vehicle begins to overheat:
1. Turn the air conditioning off.
2. Turn the heater on to the highest
temperature and to the highest
fan speed.
3. When it is safe to do so, pull off
the road, shift to P (Park) and let
the engine idle for about 3
minutes.
If the overheat warning is no longer
present, the vehicle can be driven. However
drive the vehicle gentaly for about 10
minutes. If the warning does not come back
on, the vehicle can be driven normally.
Have the cooling system checked for proper
fill and function.
If the warning is still displayed, turn off the
engine and wait fot it to cool down.
If the warning continues, pull over, stop,
and park the vehicle right away.
Brakes
Disc brake pads have built-in wear
indicators that make a high-pitched
warning sound when the brake pads need
to be replaced. The sound can come and go
or it maybe heard all the time when the
vehicle is moving.
The brake wear warning sound means
that soon the brakes will not work well.
When the brake wear warning sound is
heard, have the vehicle serviced.
Failure to replace the brake pads could
lead to a crash or costly brake system
repairs.
Some driving conditions or climates can
cause a brake squeal when the brakes are
first applied or lightly applied. This may be
noticed the first few stops after storeing
the vehicle. This does not mean something
is wrong with the brakes.
Brake Pedal Travel
The following conditions could indicate
barke service is required. Contact
Vanderhall Service if:
The brake pedal does not return
to normal height
There is a rapid increase in pedal
travel
The pedal lacks firmness.
