Engine Coolant
To check the engine coolant level, the
engine compartment panels must first
be removed, see page 191.
The engine cooling system expansion
tank is positioned on the left-hand side
of the engine bay, identified by its black
filler cap.
Under normal circumstances it should
not be necessary to add any coolant to
the system.
Check when the engine is fully COLD
and only when the vehicle is on a
completely level surface, without
disturbing the pressure cap, check the
level of coolant in the expansion tank is
above the 'MIN' mark.
VEHICLE CARE
Topping up
Ensure that the coolant is fully cold
before slowly unscrewing the filler
cap counter-clockwise, allowing any
remaining pressure to escape before
finally removing the cap.
WARNING: Do NOT attempt to re-
move the pressure cap from the
expansion tank when the engine
is warm as serious scalding could
result from boiling water and/or
steam.
WARNING: Coolant is hazardous
to your health and to animals and
may be fatal if swallowed.
WARNING: Keep coolant out of
reach of children.
WARNING: Clean up spilled
coolant and do not leave in open
containers.
