Cooling System
WARNING:
DO NOT CHECK THE COOLANT LEVEL WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT. REMOVE THE
IGNITION KEY BEFORE WORKING IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT.
To check the coolant level, ensure that the engine has been shut down for at least half
an hour.
The coolant level can be checked visually and should between the two level marks
formed on the front of the white, plastic expansion tank.
If required, top up the level with coolant (50% clean tap water and 50% ethylene glycol
based anti-freeze) through the expansion tank filler cap.
Do not use water only to top up as this weakens the coolant mix, reducing the level of
frost protection and anti-corrosion protection of the coolant.
