LEVELS (2/3)
Coolant level checking frequency
Check the coolant level regularly
(very severe damage is likely to be
caused to the engine if it runs out of
coolant).
If the level needs to be topped up, only
use products approved by our Technical
Department which ensure:
– protection against freezing;
– anticorrosion protection of the cool- ing system.
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
No operations should be
carried out on the cooling
circuit when the engine is
hot.
Risk of burns.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera-
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Windscreen washer reservoir
Filling: Remove cap 3, fill until you can
see the fluid, then refit the cap.
This reservoir supplies the front and
rear screen washers.
Liquid: Special windscreen washer
fluid (anti-freeze product in winter).
Jets: to adjust the angle of the jets,
pivot the little ball using a pin.
Use products approved by the Technical
Department.
CoolantWith the engine switched off and on
level ground, the level when cold must
be between the MINI and MAXI marks
on reservoir 2.
Top this level up when cold before it
reaches the MINI mark.
