The cooling fan may start after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might
become caught by the fan blades.



Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.

Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan.
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 pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.











Coolant level

A low additive level is indi-
cated by illumination of the
service warning lamp, accom-
panied by an audible warning
and a message in the instrument panel
screen.
