Coolant level

Combustion engine coolant

With the ignition off and the vehicle on level ground, the level when cold must be between the "MINI" and "MAXI" markers indicated on the coolant reservoir 1.
Top this level up when cold before it reaches the "MINI" marker.
Frequency of checking coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly (very severe damage is likely to be caused to the combustion 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:
  • antifreeze protection;
  • anti-corrosion protection of the cooling system.
WARNING
Before carrying out any action in the engine compartment, you must switch off the ignition STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE.
Replacement intervals
Refer to the maintenance document for your vehicle.
Tip
If there is an abnormal or repeated drop in the fluid level, consult an approved dealer.
WARNING
When working in the engine compartment, ensure that the windscreen wiper stalk is in the park position.
Risk of injury.
WARNING
No operations should be carried out on the cooling circuit when the combustion engine is hot.
Risk of burns.

Electric traction system coolant

This system is different to that of the combustion engine. It is used for cooling the electric motor.
Reading the level
With the ignition off and the vehicle parked on level ground, unscrew the coolant reservoir cap 2.
When cold , the level should be located between the "MIN" 3 and "MAX" 4 marks shown on the inside of the funnel.
Frequency of checking coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly (very severe damage is likely to be caused to the electrical circuit if it runs out of coolant).
If a top-up is required, you must contact an approved dealer to perform the top-up.
