Renault Clio: Engine coolant
With the engine switched off and on level ground, the level when cold must be between the MINI and MAXI marks on reservoir 1.
Top this level up when cold before it reaches the MINI mark.
| When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in the park position. Risk of injury. |
Frequency of checking coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly (very severe damage is likely to be caused to the engine if it runs out of coolant).
If the level needs to be topped up, only use products approved by our Technical Department which ensure:
- protection against freezing;
- an anti-corrosion protection for the cooling system.
| Before performing any action in the engine compartment, the ignition must be switched off by pressing the engine stop button (please see the information on “Starting, stopping the engine” in Section 2). |
Replacement interval
Refer to the Maintenance Document for your vehicle.
| Consult your approved dealer at once if you notice an abnormal or repeated drop in any of the fluid levels. |
| No operations should be
carried out on the cooling
circuit when the engine is
hot. Risk of burns. |
