Brake Fluid - Seat alhambra Owner's Manual

If a lot of coolant has been lost, only add cold coolant after the
engine has cooled down. This will prevent engine damage.

The excess coolant will be forced out through the pressure relief
valve in the cap when engine becomes hot.

Drained coolant should not normally be reused, it must be disposed of,
bearing in mind environmental protection regulations.
Radiator fan
The radiator fan is driven electrically and controlled by a
thermoswitch from the coolant temperature (also from the engine
compartment temperature on some models).
