
Motor / Charger /Inverter Coolant
 Check that the coolant level for the
drive system meets the "Max Level"
mark (Figure 10.1).
 Top up if required with a 50/50 mix of
ethylene glycol and distilled water.

Cabin Heater
 Open the hood as outlined in this
section (Figure 10.12).
 Check fluid level in reservoir (Figure
10.2).
 If the level in the reservoir is low,
unscrew the cap of the reservoir.

Fill the reservoir with a 50/50 mixture of
ethylene glycol and distilled water up to
the "MINIMAL LEVEL" mark.
Running the heater with an empty reservoir will damage the heater.
The liquid inside the heater will get hot. Allow the heating system to cool
down before attempting any maintenance on it.
