Power Steering; Stability Control (Esc); Traction Control (Asr); Antilock Brake System (Abs) - Skoda 2014 Rapid Spaceback Owner's Manual

Seek help from a specialist garage.
WARNING
Carefully open the coolant expansion bottle. If the engine is hot, the cool-
■
ing system is pressurized – risk of scalding! It is therefore best to allow the
engine to cool down before removing the cap.
Do not touch the radiator fan. The radiator fan may switch itself on auto-
■
matically even if the ignition is off - a danger of injury is present!
CAUTION
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the air inlet
■
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant.
Never cover the radiator - there is a risk of the engine overheating.
