tion.
Check the oil under the following conditions and refill.
The vehicle is standing on a horizontal surface.

Coolant
Introduction
The coolant cools the engine and consists of water and coolant additive (with
additives that protect the cooling system against corrosion and prevents fur-
ring).
The coolant additive level in the coolant must between 40 and 60 %.
The correct mixing ratio of water and coolant additive should be checked if
necessary by a specialist garage or corrected if necessary.
