In the front luggage compartment on
the left.
Check the fill levels at regular intervals.
Before checking the fluid levels
! Park the car on a level surface.

Coolant level, checking
It is necessary to check the coolant level
to ensure that the engine does not
overheat.
>Important!
The cooling system is maintenance free
under normal operating conditions. A
drop in the coolant level indicates
leakage.
If the coolant level has fallen
! top up the coolant.
! Have the reason for the loss of coolant
investigated by a qualified specialist
workshop, e.g. a smart center.
Danger of injury!
The cooling system is
pressurised. Allow the engine to cool
down again before unscrewing the cap.
Allow it to cool down for at least
30 minutes. You could otherwise be
scalded by hot coolant when the cap is
released.
