oid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MaX " mark but should never
exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be replaced at routine services.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. Top up the level when necessary.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine : take care
with articles and clothing that might
be caught by the fan blades.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off the
engine 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.
