Coolant Level, Checking after Repair
The cooling system is under pressure when the engine is warm. There is a risk of scalding due to hot steam and hot coolant.
Scalding the skin and other parts of the body is possible.
- Wear safety gloves.
- Wear protective eyewear.
- Reduce the pressure by covering the coolant expansion tank cap with a cloth and carefully opening it.
-- When the engine is warm, the coolant level must not be above the -weld seam- -arrow-.
-- When the engine is cold, the coolant level must be approximately 5 mm -arrow- above the MAX mark.
TIP:
The raised coolant level is necessary, since the coolant level can still sink from the ventilation process.
-- If necessary, fill the coolant again.
-- Install the engine cover. Refer to ENGINE COVER, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .
-- Erase the DTC memory using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester .
