Screenwash / headlamp
wash fluid level
Specification of the fluid
To ensure optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,   the   fluid   should   never   be   topped   up   or r

eplaced   by   plain   water.
In
  wintry   conditions,   the   use   of   a   fluid  
w

ith   an   ethyl   alcohol   or   methanol   base   is  
re

commended.

Coolant level
The coolant level should be close t o   the   "MA X"   mark   but   should   never  
e

xceed   it.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's r ecommendations.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might
be caught by the fan blades.
When
  the   engine   is   warm,   the   temperature   of  
t

he   coolant   is   regulated   by   the   fan.
In   addition,   as   the   cooling   system   is  
p

ressurised,   wait   at   least   one   hour   after  
s

witching   off   the   engine   before   carrying   out  
any   work.
To   avoid   any   risk   of   scalding,   unscrew   the   cap
