To the specified intervals in the "scheduled maintenance chart" (sect. 4 - 2) Check the coolant level contained in the expansion reservoir, on the right side of the vehicle.
The coolant level must be between the max. And min marks on the tank.
If the level is low, top up with the recommended coolant.
Remove the filler cap (1) and top up with new coolant to the specified level.
Refit the plug (1).
