Checking the coolant level
WARNING
Do not allow the fluid to touch your
skin or eyes. If this happens, rinse the
affected areas immediately with
plenty of water and contact your doctor.
CAUTION
Make sure that the level is between
the MIN and the MAX marks.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level may therefore extend beyond the MAX
mark.

may ignite if spilt on a hot exhaust.
CAUTIONS
In an emergency, you can add just
water to the cooling system to reach
a vehicle service station. Have the
system checked by a properly trained
technician as soon as possible.
Prolonged use of incorrect dilution of
the coolant can cause engine damage
from corrosion, overheating or
freezing.
Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure will
escape slowly as you unscrew the cap.
CAUTION
