the system is cold, the coolant must
be replenished.

that the coolant level does not go
over the FULL mark.
If no antifreeze is available, top up
with distilled water and have the
concentration checked and more
antifreeze added as necessary.
When closing, tighten coolant filler
cap and ensure that the cap is
returned to its original position (with
the arrows on the cap and the tank
aligned correctly).Windscreen/rear window

the chassis and offer optimum driving
comfort and safety.

notice indicating the maximum
permissible speed for the tyres must
be affixed within the driver's field of
vision.

varies from country to country on
account of national regulations.
