- Check the coolant level in the expansion tank. Top up the coolant if it is below the level of labeling in the expansion tank (Fig. 461). The coolant level can be slightly above the mark "MAX" when the engine is hot. Once the engine is cold, coolant level should be established between the upper and lower control risk on the expansion tank. If not, you should top up the coolant.
A warning Do not replace or top up the coolant in the engine is hot - it can damage the engine. |
