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.

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:

  • antifreeze protection;
  • anti-corrosion protection of the cooling system.

If there is an abnormal or repeated drop in the fluid level, consult an approved Dealer.
