Cooling Fluid Level - PIAGGIO xevo 250IE User Manual

Cooling fluid level (03_11, 03_12, 03_13, 03_14)

The engine cooling system operates by forcing circulation of fluid. The cooling circuit
contains about 2 litres of coolant consisting of a mixture of 50% de-ionised water and
glycol ethylene-based antifreeze solution with corrosion inhibitors. Recommended
coolant: supplied with the vehicle, already mixed and ready for use. For proper func-
tioning of the engine, the coolant temperature must be between the 4th and 7th lit
segment, as indicated by the instrument «D» on the digital instrument panel. When
the 9th segment lights up, the icon and all the segments start flashing; stop the engine,
let it cool down and check the fluid level; if the level is OK, contact an Authorised
Service Centre.

Check coolant when the engine is cold as indicated in the scheduled maintenance
table.
a) Rest the vehicle in vertical position on the stand and remove the screw of the ex-
pansion tank cap shown in the photo
b) Remove the expansion tank cover "A", turning in anticlockwise direction.
c) Look inside the expansion tank; the fluid level must always be between the min and
the max level
d) If the coolant level is near the minimum mark, top up when the engine is cold.
03_12
If it is necessary to top up the coolant frequently, or if the expansion tank is completely
dry, you should look for the cause in the cooling system. It is therefore essential to
have the cooling system checked at an Authorised Service Centre. Replace coolant
as indicated in the scheduled maintenance table. Take your vehicle to an Authorised
Service Centre for this operation.
CAUTION
THE RECOMMENDED COOLANT MUST BE USED FOR TOP-UPS TO AVOID
DAMAGING THE ENGINE.
