Coolant level
The coolant level should be closeto 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 par ticle
emission filter, the fan may operate after the vehicle has been switched off, even if the engine is cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hour after switching off the engine before carrying out anywork.

y risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.When the pressure has dropped, remove thecap and top up the level.
