ease the bonnet stay and replace it in its
support.
●
At a height of approximately 30 cm let it fall
so it locks.
If the bonnet does not close, do not press
downwards. Open it again and let it fall as
mentioned above.
WARNING
If the bonnet is not properly closed, it could
open unexpectedly whil

accidents and lead to serious injuries.

After closing the bonnet, ensure that the
lock is duly engaged in the lock carrier. The
bonnet must be at the same level as the
adjacent parts of the bodywork.
●
If while in motion you notice the bonnet is
not properly cl
osed, stop the vehicle imme-

●
Open and close the bonnet only when
there is nobody in its path.

Before starting to move, always place the
wiper arms on the windscreen.

Coolant specifications
The engine cooling system is supplied from
the f
act
ory with a specially tr
eated mixture of
water and at least 40 % of the additive
G12evo (TL-VW 774 J), purple. This mixture
gives the necessary frost protection down to
-25°C (-13°F) and protects the light alloy
parts of the engine cooling system against
corrosion. It also prevents scaling and con-
siderably raises the boiling point of the cool-
ant.
To protect the cooling system, the percent-
age of additive must always be at least 40 %,
even in warm climates where anti-freeze pro-
tection is not required.
