When filling the engine cooling system, it is important to use the correct antifreeze mixture: ready-to-use mixtures are available commercially or concentrated solutions to be diluted with distilled water; once the mixture is ready, fill the radiator and expansion tank to the maximum level; then start the engine and activate the cabin heating to fill the internal radiator as well, waiting for the fluid to reach operating temperature and ensuring the fan activates.

After a while, check the level again.
