CHECKING AND REFILLING ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 3.39
TIPS AND MAINTENANCE
If a lot of coolant has been lost, only add
cold coolant after the engine has cooled
down. This will prevent engine damage.
Do not fill above the max mark.
The excess coolant will be forced out
through the pressure relief valve in the
cap when engine becomes hot.
Screw cap on again tightly.
Warning
The coolant additive and the
coolant are a danger to health. The
additive must therefore only be
stored in the original container
well out of reach of children. If the
coolant has to be drained at any
time it must be caught and also
stored in a safe place.
❀
Drained coolant should not nor-
mally be reused, it must be dis-
posed of, bearing in mind environ-
mental protection regulations.
The radiator fan is driven electrically and
controlled by a thermoswitch from the
coolant temperature (also from the
engine compartment temperature on
some models).
Warning
After the engine has been stopped
the fan can continue running for a
while – even with the engine
switched off – (up to about
10 minutes). It can also start to
run again suddenly after a short
time if
– the coolant temperature increa-
ses due to heat build up
– when the engine is hot and the
engine compartment is heated
additionally by strong sunlight.
Special care must therefore be
taken when working in the engine
compartment.
