Fluid level checks

If the message LOW COOLANT LEVEL is
displayed in the message center, stop the
vehicle as soon as safety permits and top-up
the coolant reservoir with the recommended
antifreeze/water mix.
If the message center displays the message
ENGINE OVERHEATING, pull off the highway
and allow the engine to idle for five minutes
and then switch off the ignition for ten minutes.
Switch on the engine and, provided that the
warning does not occur, continue your journey,
avoiding harsh acceleration. Seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.
TOPPING UP THE COOLANT
Never remove the filler cap when the engine
is hot. as the reservoir will be pressurized.
Coolant and steam can escape rapidly when
the cap is removed, causing injury.
Antifreeze is highly inflammable. Do not
allow antifreeze to come into contact with
naked flames or other sources of ignition
(e.g. a hot engine) - a fire may result.
Unscrew the filler cap slowly, allowing the
pressure to escape before removing
completely.
When travelling in territories where the water
supply contains salt, always ensure you carry a
supply of fresh (rain or distilled) water.
Topping up with salt water will cause serious
engine damage.
Top-up to the upper level indicator mark
located on the side of the expansion tank. Use
only a 50% mix of water and antifreeze to
specification WSS M97B44 (colored orange)
Extended Life Coolant.
Note: In an emergency, and only if the
approved antifreeze is unavailable, top-up the
cooling system with clean water, but be aware
of the resultant reduction in frost protection.
Do not top-up or refill with conventional
antifreeze formulations. If in doubt consult a
qualified technician.
Ensure the cap is tightened fully after top-up is
completed by turning the cap until the ratchet
cap clicks.
CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
Seek qualified assistance immediately if
brake pedal travel is unusually long,
unusually short or if there is any significant
loss of brake fluid. Driving under such
conditions could result in extended stopping
distances or complete brake failure.
If the quantity of fluid in the brake reservoir
drops below the recommended level, a red
warning lamp in the instrument panel will
illuminate and the message Brake Fluid Low
will be displayed in the message center.
Note: If the warning lamp illuminates or the
message is displayed while the vehicle is being
driven, stop the vehicle as soon as safety
permits by gently applying the brakes. Check
and top-up the fluid level if necessary.
Brake fluid is highly toxic - keep containers
sealed and out of the reach of children. If
accidental consumption is suspected, seek
medical attention immediately.
