Checks
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MAX" mark but should never
exceed it.
When the engine is warm,
the temperature of the coolant is regulated by
the fan. This can operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are fitted with a particle
emission filter, the fan may operate after
the vehicle has been switched off, even if
the engine is cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
Fluid speci
fi
cation
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Fluid speci
fi
cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up with or
replaced with plain water.
Screenwash and headlamp wash
fl
uid
In the case of vehicles fitted with
headlamp washers, the low fluid level
is indicated by an audible signal and
a message in the instrument panel
screen.
Top up the reservoir when you next stop the
vehicle.
