Engine coolant
Windscreen washer reservoir
Coolant
With the engine switched off and on
level ground, the level when cold must
be between the “ MINI" and “ MAXI"
marks on reservoir 2.
Top this level up when cold before it
reaches the “MINI" mark.
No operations should be
carried out on the cooling
circuit when the engine is
hot.
Risk of burns.
Checking intervals
Check the coolant level regularly
(very severe damage is likely to be
caused to the engine if it runs out of
coolant).
If the level needs to be topped up, only
use products approved by our Technical
Department which ensure:
– protection against freezing;
– anti-corrosion protection of the cool-
ing system.
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle.
Consult an approved dealer at once
if you notice an abnormal or re -
peated drop in any of the fluid levels.
LEVELS (2/3)

The engine may be hot
during operations in close
proximity. In addition, the
engine cooling fan may
come on at any moment.
Risk of burns.
Windscreen washer reservoir
Filling: Remove cap 3, fill until you can
see the fluid, then refit the cap.
This reservoir supplies the front and
rear screen washers.
Liquid: Special windscreen washer
fluid (anti-freeze product in winter).
Jets: to adjust the angle of the jets
pivot the little ball using a pin.
Use products approved by the Technical
Department.
