Notes:
- The manufacturer recommends using ethylene glycol-based coolant (antifreeze).
- Do not mix liquids of different colors and different manufacturers. If you need to add coolant, but you do not know the brand of liquid poured into the system, replace all the liquid in the cooling system.
- Use only products from proven manufacturers. Remember that using low-quality coolant leads to expensive engine repairs!
- Before starting work, place the vehicle on a level surface.
Attention!
- Check the coolant level only when the engine is cold.
- Coolant is toxic, so take precautions when handling it.
- Do not fill the reservoir much higher than the "KALT/COLD" mark, as its volume will increase when the engine is running.
- When starting the engine, the expansion tank cap must be tightly closed.
Helpful tips:
- Constantly monitor the coolant level. A sharp decrease or increase should be a signal for an immediate check of the engine cooling system.
- If the freshly poured antifreeze suddenly and unexpectedly quickly changed color to brown, it means you were sold a fake, to which they "forgot" to add corrosion inhibitors. Replace the liquid as quickly as possible before it has time to corrode the cooling system.
The expansion tank is installed in the engine compartment on the left side.
1. The coolant level when the engine is cold should be slightly above the "KALT/COLD" mark on the wall of the expansion tank.
2. To add fluid, unscrew the expansion tank cap…
3. …and add coolant to the required level.
4. Screw on the expansion tank cap.
Caution! Tighten the expansion tank cap tightly. When the engine is running, the expansion tank is under pressure, so coolant may leak from under a loosely tightened cap or the cap may be torn off.
