If a leak in the engine cooling system has caused a drop in the coolant level, you must act immediately. For restoration, you need specific equipment, the control unit, and the appropriate coolant.

Insert the funnel into the expansion tank and fill it with coolant. Properly program the control unit and wait for the cooling system to fill.

Start the engine and inspect the cooling system for leaks. After making the repair, top off the coolant and check for proper operation.
