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

xceed   it.

 w

ait
 
at
 
least   one   hour   after   switching   off   the

ngine
 
before   carrying   out   any   work.
To
 
avoid
 
any   risk   of   scalding,   unscrew   the   cap  
b

y
 
two
 
turns   to   allow   the   pressure   to   drop.  
W

hen
 
the
  pressure   has   dropped,   remove   the  
c

ap
 
and
 
top   up   the   level.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be replaced at routine ser vices.
Fluid specification

The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades.
