Filling cylinder: 4520T
[2]Adaptor for filling cylinder: 4222T
IMPERATIVE: Respect the safety and cleanliness requirements.
The draining and refilling operations can be carried out using WINN’S or similar coolant fluid replacement
equipment;it is essential to follow the instructions as stated for that equipment.
Filling and bleeding.
Fit the cylinder adaptor [2] 4222T (Picasso,C2,C3)and the filling cylinder [1] 4520T (all types).
Use the coolant to ensure protection between 15°C and 37°C.
Slowly fill the system.
NOTE:Keep the cylinder filled up (visible level).
Close each bleed screw as soon as the coolant flows without air bubbles.
Start the engine :Engine speed
1500 rpm.
Maintain this speed until the first cooling cycle (cooling fans cut in and cut out).
Stop the engine and allow it to cool down.
Remove the filling cylinder
[1] 4520T (all types)and the cylinder adaptor [2] 4222T.
Top up the system to the max. mark, with the engine cold.

Bleeding the hydraulic clutch control
IMPERATIVE: Use only new brake brake fluid that is not emulsified, avoid any
ingress of impurities into the hydraulic circuit.
IMPERATIVE: Do not use automatic bleeding equipment
(risk of the brake fluid
emulsifying in the hydraulic circuit).
Couple a transparent tube (5) on the bleed screw, at «c».
Submerge the end of the tube
(5)in the recipient containing the brake fluid, located
below the level of the clutch slave cylinder.
Use the transparent tube
(5)to act as a siphon, at «b».
WARNING:the end of the tube (5)must be submerged in the brake fluid.
Open the bleed screw, at
