WARNING: Since injury such as scalding could be caused by escaping steam or coolant, do not remove the filler cap from the coolant expansion tank whilst the system is hot. 
CAUTION: Engine coolant will damage the paint finished surfaces. If coolant is spilled, immediately remove the coolant and wash the area with water. 

1.  Check the level of coolant in the expansion tank. With the engine cold, the coolant level must be to the 'UPPER LEVEL'  indicator mark above the 'COLD FILL RANGE'  text on the side of the expansion tank. Ignore any coolant which may be visible in the top section of the tank.

2.  If topping-up is required, remove expansion tank filler cap and top-up coolant level to the 'UPPER LEVEL'  indicator mark. Refer to Specifications .

CAUTION: Always top-up with a 50% mixture of anti-freeze and water. 

3.  Install expansion tank filler cap, tighten cap until ratchet is heard to 'click'.
