Check the coolant level
Be sure to check the coolant level regularly. Park
the car on level ground, apply the park brake, and
shut down the engine. After the engine cools
down, open the engine hood and then check the
coolant level.
WARNING
•
Be extremely careful when working in
the engine compartment.
•
The engine compartment is a high-risk
area. Be sure to read and follow the
relevant warning instructions carefully
before opening the engine hood.
•
If steam or coolant flows out from the
engine compartment, do not open the
engine hood, for fear of burns; wait till
there is no steam or coolant overflowing
and the engine cools down before
opening the engine hood.
Check whether the coolant level in the expansion
tank is between the upper limit mark "MAX" and
the lower limit mark "MIN".
NOTE
When the engine is not cooled, the coolant level
will be high, and there will be errors in checking
the coolant level.
NOTE
When the coolant level is lower than the lower
limit mark "MIN", coolant must be added. Too
little coolant will affect the cooling effect and
cause engine damage.
