Operation Manual

Service, maintenance200
When the engine is at operating
temperature, coolant level rises. It falls
again when the system cools. If it falls
below the MIN m ark when the sy ste m is
cold, the coolant must be replenished.
Top up antifreeze. If no antifreeze is
available, top up with clean tap water.
If tap water is unavailable, distilled water
can be used.
When you top up with tap water or distilled
water, add concentrated antifreeze and
possibly mix in antifreeze a s well. Have the
cause of the coolant loss eliminated by a
workshop.
Too low a coolant level can cause eng ine
damage.
When closing, tighten coolant filler cap as
far as it will go.
