Engine coolant
E01000500638
To check the coolant level
A transparent coolant reserve tank (A) is located in the engine
compartment.
The coolant level in this tank should be kept between the
“LOW” and “FULL” marks when measured while the engine is
cold.
To add coolant
The cooling system is a closed system and normally the loss of
coolant should be very slight. A noticeable drop in the coolant
level could indicate leakage. If this occurs, we recommend you
to have the system checked as soon as possible.
If the level should drop below the “LOW” level on the reserve
tank, open the lid and add coolant.
Anti-freeze
The engine coolant contains an ethylene glycol anti-corrosion
agent. The cylinder head and water pump housing are cast alu-
minium alloy, and periodic changing of the engine coolant is
necessary to prevent corrosion of these parts.
Use “BASF Glysantin Alu Protect Premium /G30” or equiva-
lent.
This coolant has excellent protection against corrosion and rust
formation of all metals including aluminium and can avoid
clogs in the radiator, heater, cylinder head, engine block, etc.
Because of the necessity of this anti-corrosion agent, the cool-
ant must not be replaced with plain water even in summer.

WARNING
!
● Do not open the reserve tank cap (B) while the
engine is hot. The coolant system is under pressure
and any hot coolant escaping could cause severe
burns.
