When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is controlled by the
engine fan. As this fan can operate with
the ignition key removed and because
the cooling system is pressurised, wait
for at least one hour after the engine has
stopped before carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by two turns to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scald-
ing. When the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level.
Note: the coolant does not need to be
changed. For best quality cleaning and to
a v o i d f r e e z i n g , t h i s fl u i d m u s t
not be topped up or replaced
with water.
To maintain the reliability of engines
and emission control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil is prohibited.
