Checks
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X" 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 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.
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. In wintry conditions, it is recommended that you use an ethyl alcohol or methanol based fluid.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up the level when necessary.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is regulated by the fan.
The cooling fan may star t after switching off the engine: take care with ar ticles and clothing that might become caught by the fan blades.
