Engine overheating can be a common issue for the Suzuki Cultus, particularly in hot climates like Pakistan. Some of the factors contributing to overheating include low coolant levels, a malfunctioning radiator fan, a clogged radiator, o r a broken thermostat. Regular maintenance and monitoring can prevent this issue. Here’s how you can manage it:

Preventive Measures:
Check coolant levels: Ensure the coolant is at the correct level and replace it periodically.
Inspect the radiator and hoses: Look for leaks, cracks, o r blockages in the radiator and hoses.
Monitor the thermostat: If the engine temperature gauge rises above the normal range, check the thermostat for faults.
Radiator fan: Ensure the fan operates when the engine temperature increases.
Signs of Engine Overheating:
A sudden rise in the temperature gauge.
Steam o r smoke from the engine compartment.
A burning smell, often from leaking coolant.
What to Do: If you notice any of these signs, stop the vehicle immediately and let the engine cool down. Check coolant levels and inspect the radiator for visible issues.
