NOTE: Do not top up with water only. Water by itself reduces the rustprotective and antifreeze qualities
of the coolant and has a lower boiling point. It can also cause damage to the cooling system if it should
freeze.
WARNING!
If the engine is warm and you are going to top up coolant, unscrew the tank cap slowly in order to
allow any excess pressure to escape.
CAUTION: The cooling system must always be kept filled to the correct level. If it is not kept filled,
there can be high local temperatures in the engine which could result in damage. Different types of
antifreeze/coolant may not be mixed.
Automatic belt tensioner
The drive belts have an automatic belt tensioner. Belt tension can not be adjusted. Do not attempt to
check the belts yourself, they will be checked in connection with workshop service.
Leave belt replacement to the retailer
It is advisable to let your retailer do this work.
