The coolant level should be kept between the marks

.
The coolant can be checked and topped up, if the following conditions are sat-
isfied.
The vehicle is standing on a horizontal surface.
The engine is turned off.
The engine is not heated.
The bonnet is open.
Checking the level
Check the coolant level in the coolant expansion tank » Fig. 155.
If the engine is warm, the test result may be inaccurate. The level can also be
above the mark
A
» Fig. 155.
In the event of an insufficient coolant level, a warning light
is displayed in
the instrument cluster as well as the relevant notification » page 36. We still
recommend inspecting the coolant level directly at the reservoir from time to
time.
Loss of coolant
A loss of coolant is first and foremost an indication of a leak in the cooling sys-
tem. Do not merely top up the coolant. Have the cooling system checked by a
specialist garage.
Replenishing
Read and observe and on page 148 first.
The coolant expansion tank must always contain a small amount of coolant
» page 148,
in section Introduction.
Place a cloth over the cap of the coolant expansion tank and unscrew the
cap carefully.
Replenishing the coolant.
Turn the cap until it clicks into place.
Do not use an alternative additive if the specified coolant is not available. In
this case, use just water and have the correct mixing ratio of water and cool-
ant additive restored by a specialist garage as soon as possible.
Only top up with new coolant.
