IMPORTANT
Consult the safety and cleanliness advice and oper-
ation recommendations before carrying out any
repair (see ) .
IMPORTANT
When working in the engine compartment, take
care as the radiator fan(s) may start up unexpect-
edly (risk of being cut).
To avoid any risk of serious burns when the engine
is hot:
-do not open the expansion bottle cap,
-do not drain the cooling system,
-do not open the bleed screw(s).
WARNING
Before the operation, protect the electrical accesso-
ries to prevent any risk of shor t circuiting and pro-
tect the belts to avoid damaging them.
WARNING
When carr ying out a repair that requires a complete
change, it is essential to flush the circuit with clean
water, blast compressed air through the circuit to
drive out the water, fill and bleed the circuit and
then measure the effective protection.
The cr iteria to be met are:
-protection down to -25˚C ±± ± ±
2 for cold and temper-
ate countries,
-protection down to -40˚C ±± ± ±
2 for "extreme cold"
countries.
WARNING
The coolant helps to keep the engine running prop-
erly (heat exchange).
The system must not operate using pure water.

EXHAUST
Exhaust: Precautions for the repair
19B
Exhaust trunking with 1 bolt
Exhaust trunking with 2 bolts
Fit the exhaust trunking onto the part of the exhaust
system fitted to the vehicle.
Position the pipe onto the lugs (2) inside the exhaust
trunking.
Tighten the exhaust trunking bolt(s) slightly (depending
on the version).
Position the second part of the exhaust system under
the vehicle, fitting it in the exhaust trunking.Position the second exhaust pipe onto the lugs inside
the exhaust trunking.
Check that the two cut marks (3) are aligned (if applica-
ble).
Position the trunking so that there is no risk of contact
between its bolt or bolts and the heat shields.
Torque tighten
-the exhaust trunking nut with 1 bolt (25 N.m) (if fit-
ted),
-the exhaust trunking nuts with 2 bolts (18 N.m) (if
fitted).
Check the following and deal with if necessary:
-no underbody contact between the exhaust system
and the heat shields,
-all of the heat shields are present and secure.
Start the engine.
Check that there are no leaks: deal with any leaks.
