Arctic's right.

I've recently sorted a coolant leak following a split hose.
Back in August with AC on, we'd just driven 35 miles in mixed traffic, so engine was quite hot.
My engine was approaching overheating but I had no idea, it wasn't until I turned air con off after I parked, that I heard the cooling fan was still running .
I used function 7 and it was at 106° however the dash gauge was stationary at 9 o'clock. So be warned!

I'd lost about 3 litres, fortunately I keep 2 litres in the boot and I topped up with our drinks bottles.
Soon dropped to 87 ish.
