ENGINE COOLANT CHECK

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.
Note: 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.
Maintenance

immediately.

water to the cooling system to reach a
vehicle service station. Have the system
checked by an authorised dealer as soon as
possible.
Note: Prolonged use of incorrect dilution
of the coolant can cause engine damage
from corrosion, overheating or freezing.
Note: Do not add coolant further than the
