– COOLANT Topping up the coolant
The level of coolant 1 should be
between the MIN. and MAX. mark-
ings on the header tank.
Top up the level. If you have to
put in more than 1 litre, have the
cooling system checked by a CIT-
ROËN dealer.
Make sure that the cap is back
on properly.
Note : If you need to top up the
fluid frequently, this indicates a
malfunction which you should get
checked at the earliest opportu-
nity.
Note : The cooling fan may oper-
ate for around 10 minutes after the
engine has stopped.
