Refilling the coolant


Check the antifreeze content with an antifreeze tester that is qualified for -25 °C.
The antifreeze portion of the coolant should not exceed 50%.

Open the engine hood (page 89).

Open the coolant expansion reservoir cap while the engine
is cold and fill pre-mixed coolant up to the FULL mark (1).

check the coolant level in the radiator.
Do not open the radiator cap while the engine is still
hot, risk of scalding.


The coolant level should be at the lower mark of the filler
plug; if not, add coolant.
