Checks
The coolant level should be closeto the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour a
fter switching off theengine 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.


Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.


Fluid specifi cation

The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.



Fluid specifi cation

For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up the level when necessary.
When the engine is warm, the temperature o
f
the coolant is regulated by the fan. This can
operate with the ignition off.
For vehicles fitted with a par ticle emissions
filter, the cooling fan may continue to run after stopping the vehicle, even if the engine is cold.
