LEVELS

  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5

Coolant

The level is checked with the engine switched off and on flat ground. The level when cold must be between the “MINI” and “MAXI” marks on the coolant reservoir 1.

Top this level up when cold before the “MINI” mark is reached.

Do not do any work under the bonnet when the vehicle is charging or when the ignition is switched on.

Checking intervals

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 cooling system.

Consult your approved dealer at once if you notice an abnormal or repeated drop in any of the fluid levels.

Replacement intervals

Refer to the Maintenance Document for your vehicle.

When working in the engine compartment, ensure that the windscreen wiper stalk is in the park position.

Risk of injury.

No operations should be carried out on the cooling circuit when the engine is hot.

Risk of burns.

Please note when working close to the engine that it may be hot. The engine cooling fan may also start at any moment. The label in the engine compartment reminds you of this.

Risk of injury.

Brake fluid

The level should be read with the engine switched off and on level ground. This should be checked frequently, and immediately if you notice even the slightest loss in braking efficiency.

Topping up

After any operation on the hydraulic circuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.

Only use fluids approved by our Technical Department (and taken from a sealed container).

Replacement intervals

Refer to the Maintenance Document for your vehicle.

Level 2

It is normal for the level to drop as the linings become worn, but it should never drop below the “MIN” warning line.

If you wish to check the disc wear yourself, you should obtain the document explaining the checking procedure from our network or from the manufacturer’s website.

Consult your approved dealer at once if you notice an abnormal or repeated drop in any of the fluid levels.

When working in the engine compartment, certain parts may be hot. In addition, the engine cooling fan can come on at any moment.

Risk of burns or serious injury.

Windscreen washer reservoir

Topping up

Open cap 3, fill until you can see the fluid, then refit the cap.

Use a tool such as a needle to adjust the height of the windscreen washer jets.
