System protection

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:

• Component protection 

  Coolant temperature between 117 °C and 124 °C Engine oil temperature between 150 °C and 157 °C

  Measure: e.g. 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: e.g. power reduction of the engine (up to approx. 90 %)
