First look at the coolant temperature gauge. The coolant temperature is too
high if the needle is over the warning area on the dial. Stop the vehicle,
switch the engine off and wait for it to cool down. Check the coolant level.
If the coolant level is correct, the overheating may be caused by a malfunction
of the radiator fan. Check the radiator fan fuse and have it replaced if neces-
sary page 249.
If the warning lamp lights up again after driving on for a short distance, stop
the vehicle and switch the engine off. Contact an Authorised Service Centre
