Caution
Too low a coolant level can cause
engine damage.

If the cooling system is cold, the
coolant level should be above the
MIN mark. Top up if the level is low.

opening the cap. Carefully open
the cap, relieving the pressure
slowly.
To top up, use a 1:1 mixture of

concentrate is available, use clean
tap water. Install the cap tightly. Have
the coolant concentration checked
and have the cause of the coolant
loss remedied by a workshop.

on a regular basis to prevent damage
to the engine. Ensure that the correct
specification of oil is used.
