Always top up using the correct specification of fluids.

Turn the cap until it clicks into place.
The specification of the coolant is shown on the coolant expansion reser-
voir» pav. 308.
If no specified coolant is available, use only distilled or demineralised water and
have the mixing ratio of water and coolant additive corrected by a specialist
garage as soon as possible.
ATSARGIAI
■
If the expansion tank is empty, do not top up with coolant. The system could
aerate - risk of damaging the engine! Nevažiuokite toliau! Switch off the en-
gine and seek assistance from a specialist garage.
■
Do not fill the coolant above the mark
A
» pav. 308. When it heats up, the
coolant could press out of the cooling system - there is a risk of damage to the
engine parts.
■
If it is not possible to add coolant,stop driving! Switch off the engine and
seek assistance from a specialist garage.
■
A coolant additive which does not correspond to the correct specification
can reduce the anti-corrosion effect of the cooling system - there is a risk of
damage to the cooling system and the engine.
■
If water other than distilled (demineralised) water is used, then have the coo-
lant replaced by a specialist garage - there is a risk of engine damage.
■
A loss of coolant could be due to leaks in the cooling system - there is a risk
of engine damage. Switch off the engine and seek assistance from a specialist
garage.
Nurodymas
A coolant level which is too low is indicated in the instrument cluster by the
warning light and shown by the relevant message » puslapis 47. We still re-
commend inspecting the coolant level directly at the reservoir from time to ti-
me.
Brake fluid
pav. 309
Brake fluid reservoir
Check the brake fluid under the following conditions.
The vehicle is on a horizontal surface.
The engine is turned off.
Check brake fluid level - the brake fluid level must be between the markings
„MIN“ and „MAX“» pav. 309.
Specification - the brake fluid must comply with VW 501 14 standard (this
standard meets the requirements of FMVSS 116 DOT4).
The brake fluid change is carried out during the inspection.
DĖMESIO
■
If the date of the brake fluid change is exceeded, steam bubbles could
form in the brake system during heavy braking. This can impair the efficien-
cy of the brakes – risk of accident!
■
The following instructions must be followed at all times when working on
the engine compartment » puslapis 267.
■
There may be an indication of a leak in the brake system, however, if the
fluid level drops significantly within a short time or if it drops below the
„MIN“ » pav. 309 marking. Nevažiuokite toliau – egzistuoja eismo įvykio

Nurodymas
A low brake fluid level which is too low is indicated by the warning light
being shown on the display of the instrument cluster as well as the corres-
ponding message» puslapis 42. We therefore recommend that you check the
coolant level directly at the reservoir from time to time.
