According Okezone site on July 19, 2015 that under such conditions often encountered problem is the car users increased engine temperature higher than a predetermined normal limits or overheat. Many factors cause the engine to overheat one of which is water radiator discharged.

Riecky Patrayudha, service head PT Suzuki Indomobil Sales (SIS) said, "because the fluid in the radiator overheated less, so why when traveling within the city (overheat) is rare, because the car users already know the journey will go through, but once out of town exposed long jams on the way it can make a hot engine. Especially when jammed cabin conditioning (AC) is turned on it that makes the water radiator quickly reduced, which is the main cause of overheating. ".

So what to do if it happens to overheat, Riecky explain better the engine is off and the car was marginalized first and then the hood in the open and let the engine cool by itself.

"Approximately 30 to 40 minutes until the engine cool new open radiator cover and fill water to the brim, then turn on the machine and then walk slowly. If you need to visit the nearest garage." he explained.

Riecky suggest any driver to always pay attention to the engine or radiator temperature indicators located in the instrument panel.

"If the temperature needle pointing to the center position means the engine temperature is normal, but if the position of the needle rise to the top it means that the engine temperature is not normal is better to stop and turn off the engine." he concluded
