REMOVING Remove     
DANGER Risk of injury  caused by fingers being jammed or pinched when removing, installing or aligning hoods, doors, trunk lid/rear-end door or sliding roof. No parts of the body or limbs should be within the operating area when the components are moving. AS00.00-Z-0011-01A
DANGER Risk of injury  to skin and eyes suffering scalding from contact with hot coolant spray. Risk of poisoning  from swallowing coolant. Do not open cooling system unless coolant temperature is below 90 °C. Open cap slowly and release the pressure. Do not pour coolant into beverage containers.
Wear protective gloves, protective clothing and safety glasses.
AS20.00-Z-0001-01A
1 Switch on ignition    
2 Adjust heater to maximum heat output    
3 Unscrew cap (1) from coolant expansion reservoir (2) IMPORTANT Unscrew cap (1) slowly and relieve overpressure.  
4 Check coolant level and antifreeze content coolant IMPORTANT If the antifreeze content of coolant is too low, either antifreeze protection must be added or the coolant must be replaced.

INSPECT Check     
8 Perform visual inspection on coolant carrying components IMPORTANT Check condition and coolant loss for all coolant carrying components and connections. The coolant carrying components should be checked for inner leak tightness if there is no external coolant loss. There is the possibility, for example, that coolant can find its way over a defective cylinder head gasket into the combustion chamber or over a defective water heat exchanger into the oil circuits.
Check condition and seating of the Henn coupling. Replace if necessary.

See "Open and close Henn coupling".
