CHECKING LEVELS
Take care when  working  under  the bonnet, as certain areas of
the
 
engine
 
may
 
be
 
extremely
 
hot
 
(risk

 
of
 
burns)
 
and
 
the
 
cooling
 
fan

 
could
 
start
 
at
 
any
 
time
 
(even
 
with

  the   ignition   off).
The
 
check
 
is
 
carried
 
out
 
either
 
when

 
the
 
ignition
 
is
 
switched
 
on

 
using
 
the
 
oil
 
level
 
indicator
 
in

 
the

again
 
to
 
make
 
the

 
visual
 
check:
 
the
 
correct
 
level
 
is
 
between

  the   marks   A   and   B.
Check
 
all

 
of

 
these

 
levels

 
regularly

,
 
in

the
 
temperature

 
of
 
the
 
coolant
 
is
 
regulated
 
by

 
the

up
 
the

 
level.
Fluid specification

coolant
 
must
 
conform
 
to
 
the
 
manu
-
facturer's
  recommendations.
The cooling fan may start after
switching off the engine: take
care with articles and clothing
that might be caught by the
fan blades.
The
 brake
 fluid
 level
 should
 be
 close
 to
 the
 "MAX"
 mark.
 If
 it
 is
 not,
 
check

brake
 
pad
 
wear.
