Cooling fluid level (03_17, 03_18)

The engine cooling system is of the forced liquid circulation type. The coolant circuit
contains approx. 1.8 litres of coolant consisting of a mixture of 50% demineralised
water and glycol ethylene-based antifreeze solution with corrosion inhibitors.
The liquid supplied with the scooter is already mixed and ready for use.
For the engine to work properly, coolant temperature must range between a minimum
value of 60 °C and a maximum value of 105 °C, as indicated by coloured references
on the indicator «D» on the analogue instrument panel. If the needle of the gauge
03_17 enters the red zone, switch off the engine, allow to cool down and check the coolant
level; if the result is normal, turn to an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre.
The fluid inspection should be carried out every 6,000 km when the engine is cold,
following the methods indicated below.
