Checking the coolant level
WARNING ! Observe extreme caution when
checking the coolant level if the engine is hot
or running - the system is pressurized.
Turn the cap on the expansion tank to the first stop to
relieve the pressure. The level should be between the
maximum and minimum marks when the engine is hot.
It is normal for the level to be lower when the engine is
cold. Fill as required when the engine is running.
WARNING ! Beware of moving pulleys and
drive belts.
Use Volvo Penta type 90 coolant or a 50/50 mixture of
antifreeze and water.
Check with the engine stopped. The dipstick (1) should
not be screwed in during measurement. Top up with oil
as required in accordance with "Technical Data".
