Coolant level
With the engine switched off and the vehicle parked on flat ground, the level when cold must be between the "MINI" and "MAXI" marks indicated on the coolant reservoir 1.
Top this level up when cold before it reaches the "MINI" marker.

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:
