Checks
Coolant level
The coolant level should be closeto the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it.When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated by the fan. This can operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are fitted with a par ticle
emission filter, the fan may operate after the vehicle has been switched off, even if the engine is cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off
the engine before carrying out any work.
