Checking coolant level
Do not add coolant to the cooling system 
when the engine is ho t. Escaping coolant 
can cause burns. <
1. Do not open the engine hood before the 
engine has cooled down.
2. Turn the cap of the expansion tank a little 
counterclockwise to  allow any accumulated 
pressure to escape, th en continue turning 
to open.
3. The level indicator 1 in the coolant filler 
neck indicates the level of coolant. The 
coolant level is correct when it is between 
the arrows of the respective inscription on 
the reservoir 2.
4. If the coolant is low, sl owly add coolant up to 
the specified level; do not overfill.
5. Turn the cap until there is an audible click.
6. Have the reason for the coolant loss 
eliminated as so on as possible.
