WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap while the
engine is warm. Wait until the vehicle cools.
If it is necessary to top off the coolant when
the engine is warm, unscrew the expansion
tank cap slowly so that the overpressure
dissipates.

The brake fluid should always be between the

there is sufficient fluid in the reservoir.

ing to the intervals specified in the Warranty

ice technician.

turn the steering wheel.
