Checks
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it. When the engine is warm,
the temperature of the coolant is regulated bythe fan. This can operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are fitted with a par ticle
emission filter, the fan ma
y operate after
the vehicle has been switched off, even if
the en
gine is cold.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
Coolant specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fluid level should
be close to the "MA X" mark. Unscrew
the cap, with the en
gine cold,
to check the level. Th
e brake fluid level should be closeto the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the ser vicing booklet for the inter val for
this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fluid must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations and meet
the DOT4 standard.
In addition, as the cooling system ispressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any work. To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrewthe cap by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and topup the level.
