Checking the level and topping up the coolant

            0

You will need: coolant, funnel, clean rag.

RECOMMENDATION: The manufacturer recommends the use of coolant (antifreeze) based on ethylene glycol. Check with the dealer - the seller of the car, the brand of liquid filled in your car.


RECOMMENDATION: Do not mix liquids of different colors and different manufacturers. If you do not know the brand of the filled liquid, and you need to add it, replace all the liquid in the cooling system.


RECOMMENDATION: Only use products from trusted manufacturers. Remember that the use of poor quality coolant leads to costly engine repairs! Place the vehicle on a level surface before starting work.




WARNING: Check the coolant level only when the engine is cold.


WARNING: Coolant is toxic, so be careful when handling it.


WARNING: Do not fill the fluid reservoir above the "MAX" mark, as the volume will increase when the engine is running.


WARNING: When starting the engine, the expansion tank cap must be closed.


USEFUL ADVICE: Constantly monitor the level of coolant. Its sharp decrease or increase should be a signal for an immediate check of the engine cooling system.



USEFUL ADVICE: If the freshly poured antifreeze suddenly suddenly quickly changed color to brown, then you were sold a fake, in which they "forgot" to add corrosion inhibitors.


USEFUL ADVICE: Replace the fluid as soon as possible before it has time to corrode the elements of the cooling system.


USEFUL ADVICE: The expansion tank is installed in the right rear of the engine compartment.




1. The coolant level must be between the "MAX" and "MIN" marks on the wall of the expansion tank.



2. To add fluid, unscrew the plug of the expansion tank..



3….and add coolant to the required level.




4. Wrap the plug of the expansion tank, remove the spilled liquid with a clean cloth.

WARNING: Screw the expansion tank cap tightly. The expansion tank is under pressure when the engine is running, so coolant may leak from under a loosely wrapped plug or the plug may be torn off.
