pressure to drop,


when the pressure has dropped, remove
the cap,


top up the level to the "MA X" mark.

Coolant level


The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never
exceed it.

Fluid specifi cation

The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine 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. When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.







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




Specifi cation of the fl uid

To ensure optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, the fluid should never be topped up or
replaced by plain water.
In wintry conditions, the use of an ethyl alcohol
or methanol base fluid is recommended.

















Screenwash / headlamp
wash level
To check the level or top up the fluid on vehicle
fitted with headlamp washers, immobilise the
vehicle and switch of the engine.



Before opening the bonnet, ensure that the
engine has completely stopped.


Open the screenwash reser voir filler cap.


Take and pinch the level gauge to block its
breather.

 Remove the gauge completely from the reservoir
to read the level in the transparent section.


Top up if necessary.

Refit the filler cap to the reser voir and close the
bonnet.
