Checking the coolant level
WARNING
Do not allow the fluid to touch your
skin or eyes. If this happens, rinse
the affected areas immediately with
plenty of water and contact your doctor.
CAUTION
Make sure that the level is between
the MIN and the MAX marks.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot.
The level may therefore extend beyond
the MAX mark.
If the level is at the MIN mark, top up
immediately.

Maintenance
In an emergency, you can add just
water to the cooling system to reach
a vehicle service station. Have the
system checked by a properly trained
technician as soon as possible.
Prolonged use of incorrect dilution of

damage from corrosion, overheating
or freezing.
Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure
will escape slowly as you unscrew the
cap.
Do not top up further than the MAX
mark.
