Coolant level

Combustion engine coolant

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 MINI mark.
Frequency of checking coolant level
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 ;
  • an anti-corrosion protection for the cooling system.
WARNING
Before carrying out any action in the engine compartment, you must switch off the ignition. VEHICLE WITH CARD.
Replacement interval
