Coolant
Do not add coolant to the cooling 
system when the engine is hot. If 
you attempt to do so, escaping coolant 
can cause burns.
Antifreeze and anti-corrosion agents 
are hazardous to health. You should 
always store them in their closed origi-
nal containers and in a location which is 
out of reach of children. Antifreeze and 
anti-corrosion agents are inflammable. 
For this reason, do not spill them on hot 
engine parts. They could ignite and 
cause serious burns. Comply with the 
instructions on the containers.
<
Comply with the applicable envi-
ronmental laws regulating the dis-
posal of antifreeze with corrosion inhib-
itor.

Checking the coolant level and 
adding coolant
Check the coolant level when the 
engine is cold, approx. 68
7/+206.
1. Open the cap for the expansion tank 
by turning it slightly counterclock-
wise to allow accumulated pressure 
to escape, then open
2. The coolant level is correct when the 
upper end of the red float rod – see 
arrow – is at least even with the 
upper edge of the filler neck, is at 
least even with the upper edge of the 
filler neck; see arrow. The end of the 
float may stick out by a maximum of 
3/4 in / 2 cm – that is, up to the sec-
ond mark on the float
3. If necessary, add coolant. If the cool-
ant is low, slowly add coolant until 
the correct level is reached – do not 
overfill.
