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

xceed   it.
In
 
addition,   as   the   cooling   system   is  
p

ressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching
 
off   the   engine   before   carrying   out   any  
wo

rk.
To
 
avoid
 
any   risk   of   scalding,   unscrew   the   cap  
b

y
 
two
 
turns   to   allow   the   pressure   to   drop.

and
 
top   up   the   level.Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be replaced at routine services.
The brake fluid level should be close to   the   "MA X"   mark.   If   it   is   not,   check
