coolant level should be above the
MIN mark. Top up if the level is low.

released coolant concentrate mixed
with clean tap water. If no coolant
concentrate is available, use clean
tap water. Install the cap tightly. Have
the coolant concentration checked
and have the cause of the coolant
loss remedied by a workshop.

suitable quantity of approved
windscreen washer fluid which

brake wear may vary significantly.The
brake wear may increase when the
vehicle is driven over short distances,
e.g. in the city.
It may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fluid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Once new brake linings are installed,
do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys.
