Checking the coolant level
WARNING!
Do not open the filler cap when the
engine is hot, except in emergencies. Steam or
hot fluid may spray out.
Turn the filler cap to the first stop and allow any ex-
cess pressure to hiss out before removing the cap
completely. Top the coolant up as necessary. The
level should be between the filler opening and the low-
er edge of the level marker (1). Fit the filler cap.
If a separate expansion tank is fitted (extra equip-
ment), the coolant level shall be between the MIN and
MAX marks.
