Engine Coolant

~1min read

The high-pressure cooling system reservoir is filled with antifreeze coolant at all times of the year. The reservoir is filled to the factory level.

Check the antifreeze protection and coolant level at least once a year, at the beginning of winter and before traveling to cold regions.

NOTICE

  • Do not drive without coolant. This could damage the water pump, seize the engine, etc.
  • If the engine overheats due to a coolant level that is too low, adding coolant suddenly may crack the engine. To avoid damage, add coolant slowly and in small amounts after the engine has cooled.
