Checks
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MAX" mark but should never exceed it.

In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hour after switching off the engine before carrying out anywork.
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 replaced at
routine services.
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.
The cooling fan may star t after switchingoff the engine: take care with ar ticles andclothing that might become caught by thefan blades.
