Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MAX" mark but should never exceed it.
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced with plain water.



Fluid specifi cation

The coolant must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations.


Changing the coolant

The coolant does not have to be changed.
Screenwash fluid level

When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
Top up the level when necessary.
The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles andclothing that might become caught by thefan blades.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after 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.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel engine with particle
emission filter)
