Coolant Level, Checking and
Topping Up
Filling with coolant
NOTICE! Coolant must be filled when the engine is
stopped and cold.
Fill the system carefully through the opening in the
expansion tank, around 10–15 l/min (2.5–4.0 US gal/
min) so that the system vents during filling.
Cooling system volume without auxiliary circuits:
46 liter (12.2 US gal)
1
Fill the system until it is completely full, including
the expansion tank. The coolant level must be
about 50 mm (2") below the expansion tank pres-
sure cap sealing surface.
2 Start the engine and let it run for about 1 h.
3 Stop the engine and let it cool. Check the coolant
level.
External systems:
If external systems are connected to the engine cooling
system, the system valves must be open and system
units vented during filling. Special venting nipples may
be installed in the external circuits; this applies espe-
cially to systems located above the engine.
IMPORTANT!
Do not start the engine until the system is completely
filled with coolant.
WARNING!
Do not open the coolant filler cap when the engine is
hot.
Steam or hot fluid could spray out, causing severe
burns.
