Checking the level›Check the coolant level in the coolant expansion tank » Fig. 231.
If the engine is warm, the test result may be inaccurate. The level can also be
above the mark A
» Fig. 231 .
If the oil level is too low, a warning light lights up in the instrument cluster dis-
play
together with a message » page 38. We still recommend inspecting the
coolant level directly at the reservoir from time to time.
Loss of coolant
A loss of coolant is first and foremost an indication of a leak in the cooling sys-
tem. Do not merely top up the coolant. Have the cooling system checked by a
specialist garage.
Replenishing
Read and observe
and on page 211 first.
The coolant expansion tank must always contain a small amount of coolant» page 211, in section Introduction .
›
Place a cloth over the cap of the coolant expansion tank and unscrew the
cap carefully .
›
Replenish the coolant.
›
Turn the cap until it clicks into place.
Do not use an alternative additive if the specified coolant is not available. In
this case, use just water and have the correct mixing ratio of water and cool-
ant additive restored by a specialist garage as soon as possible.
Only top up with new coolant.
