LEVELS, FILTERS
Coolant level
With the engine switched off and on level ground, the level when cold must be between the “MINI" and "MAXI" marks on coolant reservoir 1.
Top this level up when cold before it reaches the MIN mark.
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.
If there is an abnormal or repeated drop in the fluid level, please consult an authorised dealer.
No operations should be carried out on the cooling circuit when the engine is hot.
