Checking coolant level
G WARNING
The cooling system is pressurized, particularly
when the motor is warm. If you open the cap,
you could be scalded if hot coolant sprays out.
There is a risk of injury.
Let the engine cool down before you open the
cap. Wear gloves and eye protection. Slowly
open the cap to relieve pressure.
! The coolant may only be checked and cor-
rected when the engine is cool (coolant
temperature below 104 ‡ (40 †). Check-
ing the coolant when the coolant tempera-
ture is above 104 ‡ (40 †) may result in
damage to the engine or to the engine cool-
ing system. Example X
Park the vehicle on a level surface.
Only check the coolant level when the vehi-
cle is on a level surface and the engine has
cooled down. X
Turn the SmartKey to position 2 in the igni-
tion lock ( Y
page 149). X
Check the coolant temperature display in
the instrument cluster.
The coolant temperature must be below
104 ‡ (40 †). X
Turn the SmartKey to position 0 in the igni-
tion lock ( Y
page 149). X
Slowly turn cap C counter-clockwise and
to relieve excess pressure. X
Turn cap C further counter-clockwise and
remove it.
If the coolant is at the level of marker bar
