Topping up the coolant



First, turn off the engine and let it cool. Then cover expansion tank cap with a cloth and carefully unscrew it counterclockwise.

If under the circumstances you have low temperature concentrate G12 A8D, do not add any other in the concentrate. In this case can be topped up only water at the first opportunity, be sure to restore the desired composition of the coolant by adding the recommended low temperature concentrate.

When a large loss of coolant refilling it should be done only when the engine is cold, to avoid engine failure.

Do not fill the coolant above the mark max: excess fluid will flow as a result of its expansion of the cooling system through the pressure relief valve located in the plug.

Firmly wrap the bottle.
