Do not spill antifreeze on hot engine
parts. Antifreeze contains ethylene gly-
col which may burn if it comes into con-
tact with hot engine parts.
The engine coolant is a mixture of water
and anticorrosion/antifreeze. To check
the coolant level, the vehicle must be
parked on level ground and the engine
must be cool.
The coolant level is correct if the level:
ț
for cold coolant: reaches the black
top part of the reservoir
Using a rag, slowly open the cap approx-

sure. If opened immediately, scalding
hot fluid and steam will be blown out un-
der pressure.
ț
for warm coolant: is approximately
0.6 in (1.5 cm) higher
The coolant expansion tank is located on
the driver’s side of the engine compart-
ment.

“Technical data” section (୴ page 490).
Warning!
In order to avoid any possibly serious burns:
ț
Use extreme caution when opening the
hood if there are any signs of steam or
coolant leaking from the cooling system,
or if the coolant temperature gauge indi-
cates that the coolant is overheated.
ț
Do not remove pressure cap on coolant
reservoir if coolant temperature is
above 158°F (70°C). Allow engine to
cool down before removing cap. The
coolant reservoir contains hot fluid and
is under pressure.
