LEVELS
Coolant
With the engine switched off and on level ground, the level when cold must be between the “MINI” and “MAXI” marks on the coolant reservoir 1 and 2.
Top this level up when cold before it reaches the MIN mark.
Checking intervals
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;
- anticorrosion protection of the cooling system.
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Document for your vehicle.
Do not do any work under the bonnet when the vehicle is charging or when the ignition is switched on.
Please note when working close to the engine that it may be hot. The engine cooling fan may also start at any moment. The label in the engine compartment reminds you of this.
Risk of injury.
No operations should be carried out on the cooling circuit when the engine is hot.
Risk of burns.
If there is an abnormal or repeated drop in the fluid level, please consult an authorised dealer.
Brake fluid
This should be checked frequently, and immediately if you notice even the slightest loss in braking efficiency.
The level should be read with the engine switched off and on level ground.
Level 3
It is normal for the level to drop as the linings become worn, but it should never drop below the “MINI” warning line.
If you wish to check the disc and drum wear yourself, you should obtain the document explaining the checking procedure from our network or from the manufacturer’s website.
Topping up
After any operation on the hydraulic circuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our Technical Department (and taken from a sealed container).
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Document for your vehicle.
