Engine malfunctions while driving

Stopping the engine while driving

1. Reduce speed gradually. Take the car to a safe place.

2. Turn on the alarm.

3. Try to start the engine.

Note: When the engine is not running, the brake and power steering will not work, so the steering and brake system will require more effort on the part of the driver than usual.

Engine overheating

Note: If the engine coolant temperature gauge indicates overheating, the multifunction display will show messages "ENGINE COOLANT HOT", "ENGINE OVERHEATED" And "REDUCED ENGINE POWER", You feel a loss of power, or if you hear a noise such as a slight metallic knock, the engine has probably overheated. When the engine overheats, the multifunction display will show the message "REDUCED ENGINE POWER", which indicates the operation of the engine in safe mode. In this mode, you will experience a loss of power and reduced engine performance, but this mode will allow you to drive the vehicle to a safe place without damaging the engine.

Attention: continuous movement is prohibited (over 1.5 km) or continuing to tow a trailer while the engine is running in safe mode.

Take the car to a safe place. Set the selector to position "P" and apply the parking brake. Turn off the air conditioner if it is running.

If coolant or steam escapes from under the hood

If coolant or steam escapes from under the hood, the engine must be stopped. Get out of the car until steam stops coming out from under the hood. Open the hood only when you are sure that there is no escaping steam or coolant.

Attention:

• If the coolant does not boil or splash out, leave the engine running.
• To avoid thermal burns, leave the hood closed until steam escapes. Escaping steam or coolant is a sign of very high pressure.
• Continuing to drive the vehicle with steam escaping from under the hood can cause the vehicle to catch fire.

If there is no steam or coolant escaping from under the hood

If the coolant temperature gauge shows overheating but you don't see steam or hear steam escaping, the cause of the engine overheating may not be so serious. Sometimes the following conditions can cause the coolant temperature to rise:

• Prolonged uphill movement on a hot day;
• Stop after high speed driving;
• Long engine idling when driving in the urban cycle;
• Trailer towing.

In this case, try the following:

• A) Turn on the heater fan at maximum speed and set the maximum temperature. Open windows if necessary.
• b) If you are driving in heavy traffic, set the automatic transmission selector to the position "N". Under normal driving conditions, shift to a higher gear.
• V) If the engine overheat message goes out, you can continue driving. Drive the vehicle without excessive load on the engine for ten minutes. If the coolant temperature no longer rises, continue driving as usual.

If it was not possible to eliminate engine overheating by the method described above:

• A) Take the car to a safe place. Set the selector to position "R" and apply the parking brake.
• b) If there are no signs of escaping coolant or steam, depress the accelerator pedal to double the engine speed at idle. Hold this frequency for three minutes.
• V) If the engine overheat message does not go off, stop the engine and get out of the vehicle until the engine has cooled down.
• G) Open the hood.
• d) Do not take any action if coolant is boiling in the expansion tank. Wait until the liquid stops boiling.

The coolant level must be at the mark "FULL COLD" on the expansion tank, otherwise there is a coolant leak through the expansion tank cap, through the cooling system radiator or heater radiator hoses, through the radiator or coolant pump.

Attention: it is forbidden to continue driving in case of detection of coolant leaks. This can lead to a complete loss of coolant and engine damage.

Note: in order to avoid burns, do not touch the radiator hoses, heater and other engine components.

If there are no obvious signs of coolant leakage, restart the engine. When the idle speed is doubled by pressing the accelerator pedal, the cooling system radiator fan speed should also increase. If the radiator fan speed does not change, turn off the engine and contact a workshop for repair.
