Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Engine cooling: Notes: Guard
If the temperature of the coolant or of the engine oil becomes excessive during engine operation, certain functions in the vehicle are influenced in such a way that the engine cooling has more energy available.
The measures are divided into 2 operating modes:
- Guard
- Coolant temperature between 117°C and 124°C
- Engine oil temperature between 150°C and 157°C.
Measure: power reduction of the climate control (up to 100 %) and of the engine.
- Emergency
- Coolant temperature between 125°C and 129°C
- Engine oil temperature between 158°C and 163°C.
Measure: power reduction of the engine (up to approx. 90%).
