CHECKING AND TOPPING UP
WARNING
Wait for the engine to cool down before
checking or topping up coolant level.
◆ Stop the engine and wait until it has
cooled down.
NOTE Place the vehicle on firm and
level ground.
◆ Open the glove compartment, see page
24 (GLOVE COMPARTMENT).
◆ Check that coolant level in the
expansion tank (2) is between the "MIN"
and "MAX" marks.
MIN = minimum level.
MAX = maximum level.
If not so:
◆ Remove the front cover, see page 56
(REMOVING THE FRONT COVER).
◆ Turn the filler cap (1) anticlockwise to
release it, but do not remove the cap.
◆ Allow a few seconds for any residual
pressure to diskharge.
NOTE Do not pull on or disconnect the
breather tube (3) connected to the cap (1).
◆ Unscrew and remove the filler cap (1).
WARNING
Coolant is toxic when ingested. Contact
with eyes or skin may cause irritation.
Do not put your fingers or any other
object into the filler opening in order to
ensure that there is coolant.
WARNING
Coolant expands from heat. Never top
up beyond the "MAX" level mark or
coolant will leak out when the engine is
running.
◆ Top up with coolant, see page 75
(LUBRICANT CHART) up to just below
the "MAX" mark.
◆ Refit the filler cap (1).
WARNING
If coolant level drops too quickly or the
tank is empty, check the cooling circuit
for leaks. Have the leak repaired at an
aprilia Official Dealer.
◆ Refit the front cover, see page 56
(REMOVING THE FRONT COVER).
