9.6.4.1
Check the coolant level
Fig.182: Expansion tank for coolant
Check cooling system at regular intervals.
Ensure that sufficient antifreeze compound is always added to the
coolant, even in summer. The antifreeze compound prevents internal cor-
rosion of the radiator and engine.
The coolant level can be checked at the expansion tank in the engine
compartment. Level must be between the MIN and MAX markings.
9.6.4.2
Adding coolant
WARNING
Risk of scalding due to hot coolant!
The cooling system is under pressure after switching off the engine. The
coolant has heated up and expanded. When the fill opening is opened,
the pressure escapes and hot liquid can splash out. Severe scalding can
occur.
► Never open the fill opening when the engine is hot or the cooling sys-
tem is under pressure.
► Allow engine to cool sufficiently.
► Wear protective equipment.
