ENGINE COOLANT CHECK

WARNINGS
Never remove the coolant reservoir
cap while the engine is running or hot.
Only add coolant when the engine is
cold. If the engine is hot, wait 10
minutes for the engine to cool down.
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 physician.
Undiluted coolant is flammable and
may ignite if spilt on a hot exhaust.
Make sure that the coolant level is
between the MIN and the MAX marks. If
the coolant level is on or below the MIN
mark, add coolant meets the correct
specification immediately. See Technical
Specifications (page 170).
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level may therefore extend beyond the MAX
mark.

Maintenance

Adding Engine Coolant

1. Remove the filler cap.
2. Add engine coolant to the MAX mark,
do not overfill.
3. Replace the filler cap. Turn it until you
feel a strong resistance.
Note: Add a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze
and water, or prediluted engine coolant that
meets the correct specification. See
Technical Specifications (page 170).
Note: In an emergency you can add just
water to the cooling system to reach a
vehicle service station.
Note: Prolonged use of an incorrect dilution
of engine coolant can cause engine damage,
for example corrosion, overheating or
freezing.
BRAKE AND CLUTCH FLUID
CHECK
Do not use any fluid other than the
recommended brake fluid as this will
reduce brake efficiency. Use of
incorrect fluid could result in the loss of
vehicle control, serious personal injury or
death.
Only use brake fluid from a sealed
container. Contamination with dirt,
water, petroleum products or other
materials may result in brake system
damage or failure. Failure to adhere to this
warning could result in the loss of vehicle
control, serious personal injury or death.
Do not allow the fluid to touch your
skin or eyes. This could cause serious
personal injury. Rinse the affected
areas immediately with plenty of water
and consult a physician.
