Coolant Level, Checking and
Topping Up
WARNING!
Do not open the coolant filler cap when the engine is
warm, except in emergencies, this could cause serious
personal injury. Steam or hot fluid could spray out.
1 Turn the filler cap slowly counter-clockwise and
release any pressure from the system before
removing the cap completely.
2 Top up with coolant as necessary. The coolant level
must be between the MAX and MIN marks on the
expansion tank.
3 Screw on the filler cap.
When filling a completely empty system the coolant
level must be checked after the engine has been run
for an hour or so, as the system is self purging. Top up
with coolant as necessary.
