Check the level of coolant at the coolant expansion vessel

If the engine is warm, the test result may be inaccurate. The stand can also be
above the mark

If the coolant level in the coolant expansion tank is too low, this is indicated by
the warning light
ant. We still recommend inspecting the coolant level directly at the reservoir
from time to time.
Loss of coolant
A loss of coolant is first and foremost an indication of a leak in the system. Do
not merely top up the coolant. Have the cooling system checked by a specialist
garage.

›
Switch off the engine.

screw the cap.
