If the coolant level is low, the coolant warn-
ing indicator will light.
Preparations
Park the vehicle on even, flat and firm
ground.
Allow the engine to cool .
Open the bonnet page 268.
The coolant expansion tank is easily recog-
nisable because of the symbol on the cap
Fig. 245.
Checking the engine coolant level
When the engine is cold, check the coolant
level using the side marking on the expan-
sion tank Fig. 244.
If the level is below the “MIN” mark, top up
with coolant. When the engine is hot it may
be slightly above the marked area.
Topping up the engine coolant level
Always protect your face, hands and arms
from hot coolant and steam using a large,
thick cloth over the coolant expansion tank
cap.
Remove the cap very carefully ›› .
Only refill using new engine coolant ac-
cording to SEAT specifications ( page 276)
.
The engine coolant level should be be-
tween the marks on the coolant expansion
tank ›› Fig. 244. Do not exceed the top level
of the marked area .
Screw on the cap tightly.
If, in the event of an emergency, you have
no coolant that is compliant to the required
specifications ( page 276), do not use an-
other type of additive. Instead, top up with
distilled water only ›› . Then re-establish
the correct proportion of the mixture with the
correct additive as soon as possible
page 276.
WARNING
Hot vapours and coolant can cause serious
burns.
Never open the coolant expansion tank if
steam or coolant is coming from the engine
compartment. Wait until you cannot see or
hear any steam or coolant escaping.
Always wait until the engine has complete-
ly cooled before very carefully opening the
expansion tank cap. Contact with hot ele-
ments of the engine can cause skin burns.
When the engine is warm or hot, the cool-
ing system is pressurised. Do not unscrew
the cap on the expansion tank when the en-
gine is hot. Otherwise, coolant may spray out
under pressure causing burns and serious in-
jury.
Carefully and slowly unscrew the cap an-
ti-clockwise, gently pressing down on it.
Always protect your face, hands and arms
from hot coolant and steam using a large,
thick cloth. »
