Maintenance and Care

Checking coolant level
(applies only to RF1)
The coolant equalizing tank is located in the engine
compartment. The cooling level can really only be
checked properly when the engine is switched off.
Read the coolant level from the coolant equalizing tank.
With a cold engine it must be at the level of the container
seam. If the engine is warm it may also lie slightly above
the container seam.
The cooling system is under pressure! Do not open
the lid of the coolant equalizing tank when the engine is
hot - there is danger of scalding.
Checking the brake fluid
The brake fluid reservoir is located underneath the tank dummy.
The state of the brake fluid is also checked within the scope
of an inspection service.
Over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture from the environ-
mental air. A too high moisture content of the fluid can
lead to damage of the brake system. You should therefore
have the brake fluid checked regularly by a
rewaco
partner
dealership.
Checking the battery
With the models FX4 / FX5 / FX6 the battery is located
underneath the passenger seat and with the RF1 under
the driver's seat.
The batteries are practically maintenance free under normal
operating conditions. If the external temperatures are very
high it is recommended to check the acid level at regular
intervals. It should always lie between the min. and max.
marker. A low acid level should be corrected by a
rewaco
partner dealership.
Battery acid is corrosive and must not come in contact
with your eyes, skin or clothing.
