A coolant additive that does not comply with the correct specifications can sig-
■
nificantly reduce the corrosion protection.
Any faults resulting from corrosion may cause a loss of coolant and can conse-
■
quently result in major engine damage!
Do not fill the coolant above the mark
■
If a fault causes the engine to overheat, we recommend visiting a specialist ga-
■
rage, as otherwise serious engine damage may occur.

Check the level of coolant at the coolant expansion vessel
ant level when the engine is cold must lie between the
markings. The level may also rise slightly above the
engine is warm.
If the coolant level in the coolant expansion tank is too low, this is indicated by
the warning light lighting up in the instrument cluster

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.
