Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" 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 pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level.
Coolant level
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might
become caught by the fan blades. In wintry conditions, the use of an
ethyl alcohol or methanol base fluid is
recommended.
