ROUTINE
CHECKS
WHEN
FILLING
THE TANKS
n order to ensure
that
your vehicle remains ready for the road at all
times between Inspections you should carry out a few checks reg-
jlarly
- preferably when filling the tank.
Attention
Take
particular
care
when
working
in the
engine
compartment
- see
page
95.
We
have listed the most important points to be checked here. How
to open the bonnet is explained on page 94. 1 -
Coolant
reservoir
(expansion
tank)
Attention
Do not
open
expansion
tank
when
engine
is hot -
danger
of scalding!
If the level is below the min. mark, top it up
with
coolant additive G 11 V 8 B and water - see page 101. When unavoidable plain water
can
be used temporarily.
2 -
Brake
fluid
reservoir
The fluid level must always be between the min. and max. marks
-see
page 104.
3 - Engine oil
level
Every
engine
uses
a certain amount of oil. If the level is too low it
can
lead to serious engine damage. For this reason the level must be checked regularly - see page 97.
4- Engine oil
filler
opening
The approved types of oil are given on page 96.
5 -
Windscreen
washer
container
Always
fill
with
water and a glass cleaner. Think about frost precau
tions in winter.
6 -
Tyre
inflation
pressures
Check
the pressures at least once a month. The pressures are given
on page 147 and on a sticker on the driver's door lock pillar. For
further
information, see page 110.
