Engine Coolant
You must check the coolant for level and leaks. If it is low, you need to refill coolant into
the radiator (approximately 4000 ml). The lack of coolant will cause the engine to
overheat. This can cause engine damage.
The coolant should always be topped up, since the coolant can evaporate.
