Changing the coolant

The coolant does not have to be changed.


Fluid specifi cation

The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.



Screenwash fluid level


Fluid specifi cation

For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.

Take care when carrying out checks under the bonnet as some parts of theengine can be very hot (risk of burns).

Coolant level
Top up the level when necessary.
Th
e 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 by the fan. This can operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are fitted with a particle emission filter, the fan may operate after
the vehicle has been switched off, even if
the en
gine is cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hour after switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level.
