Checking the coolant level
WARNING
Note:Oil expands when
it is hot. The
level may therefore extend a few
millimetres beyond the MAX mark.
Do not allow the fluid to touch
your skin or eyes. If this
happens, rinse the affected areas
immediately with plenty of water and
contact your doctor.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it with
a clean, lint free cloth. Replace the
dipstick and remove it again to check
the oil level.
If the level is at the MIN mark, top up
immediately.
CAUTION
Make sure that the level is
between the MIN and the MAX
marks.
