CHECKING LEVELS   Brake fluid level  To  avoid  any  risk  of  scalding,  unscrew  
the  cap  by  two  turns  to  allow  the 
pressure  to  drop.  When  the  pressure 
has  dropped,  remove  the  cap  and  top 
up the level. 
  Oil level   The reading will only be correct 
if the vehicle is on level ground 
and the engine has been off for 
more than 15 minutes. 
 The  check  is  carried  out  either  when 
the ignition is switched on using the oil 
level indicator on the instrument panel, 
or using the dipstick.

  Coolant level 
 The  coolant  level  must  be

the “LOW” and “FULL” marks.  
 When  the  engine  is  warm,  the 
temperature of the coolant is regulated  
by the fan. This can operate with the ig-
nition off.
