The coolant level should be between
the MIN "L" and MA X "F" marks.
Coolant levelAvoid prolonged contact of used fluids
with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to
health and some are very corrosive.
Do not discard used fluids into sewers
or onto the ground.

Rear compartment
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
Coolant specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at
least one hour after switching off the motor
and/or the end of the charge cycle before
carrying out any work.
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.
Ancillaries battery
electrolyte level
Remove the battery protective cover to check
this level (refer to the"ancillaries battery"
section).
The electrolyte level should be between the
MIN "LOWER LEVEL" and MA X "UPPER
L E V E L" .
If necessary, top up using distilled water by
removing the individual battery caps.
Check the electrolyte level at least once
per month.
