Checking coolant level
GWARNING
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 protective gloves and protective
eyewear when opening. Open the cap slowly
to release pressure.
!The coolant level must only be checked andcorrected when the engine has cooled down(coolant temperature under 104 ‡ (40 †).Checking the coolant level when the coolanttemperature is over 104‡(40 †) can lead todamage to the engine or the engine coolingsystem.
XPark the vehicle on a level surface.
Only check the coolant level when the vehicleis on a level surface and the engine has cooleddown.
XTurn the SmartKey to positionHin the igni-tion lock (Ypage 123).
XCheck the coolant temperature display in theinstrument cluster.The coolant temperature must be below104 ‡ (40 †).
XTurn the SmartKey to positionZ(Ypage 123) in the ignition lock .
XSlowly turn capCcounter-clockwise and torelieve excess pressure.
XTurn capCfurther counter-clockwise andremove it.If the coolant is at the level of marker bar
