Note
After the engine is switched off the radiator
fan may run on for up to 10 minutes, ev en if
the ignition is s
witched off. It is also possi-
ble that the fan turns itself on once more if
the coolant temperature increases due to
the heat accumulated in the engine com-
partment or due to its prolonged exposure
to solar radiation. Electronic immobilizer
