Power Steering; Electronic Stability Control (Esc); Traction Control System (Asr); Antilock Brake System (Abs) - Skoda Rapid Owner's Manual

WARNING
Carefully open the coolant expansion bottle. If the engine is hot, the cool-
■
ing system is pressurized – risk of scalding! It is therefore best to allow the
engine to cool down before removing the cap.
Do not touch the radiator fan. The radiator fan may switch itself on auto-
■
matically even if the ignition is off - a danger of injury is present!
CAUTION
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the air inlet
■
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant.
Never cover the radiator - there is a risk of the engine overheating.
