To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MAX" mark but should nev-
er exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is regulated by the
fan. This can operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are fi tted with a par-
ticle emission fi lter, the fan may operate
after the vehicle has been switched off,
even if the engine is cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is pres-
surised, wait at least one hour after switch-
ing off the engine before carrying out any
work.
