When the vehicle is delivered (new vehicles),
the coolant may be above the marked area.
This is normal. It is not necessary to suck the
coolant out.

When the engine is cold, check the coolant
level using the side marking on the expansion
tank ›››Fig.226. The coolant level should be
between the marks.
