◆
Top up with coolant, see page 117
(LUBRICANT CHART) up to just below the
"FULL" mark. Never top up beyond the
"FULL" level mark or coolant will leak out
when the engine is running.
◆
Refit the filler cap (2).
If coolant level drops too quickly or the
tank is empty, check the cooling circuit
for leaks. Have the leak repaired at an
Official dealer.
