 If the coolant temperature is < 100 °C after
switching off the engine, the coolant
temperature is monitored for a period of 1.5
minutes. If the coolant temperature rises
above 110 °C during this time as a result of
being heated by the engine, the heating water
circulation pump of the coolant circuit is
operated in order to avoid any local
overheating and the formation of vapor
bubbles.
The maximum duration of the engine off
cooling is 10 minutes. The engine off cooling
program is ended prematurely if the coolant
temperature is < 110 °C.

Coolant thermostat

The coolant thermostat (4) is installed in the

cover (3) and prevented from turning, which
produces a defined position of the vent valve
(5). The coolant thermostat housing (1) is fitted
together to the left coolant outlet connection
(6) and to the right connection (7) and sealed
on each side by a O-ring (8).
