Lift the vehicle and secure it. Before proceeding, remove the undertray and front protection, then open the radiator cap. Remove the pipe located under the radiator using the appropriate tool, then place a container under the vehicle to collect the used coolant.

Allow all the fluid to drain.

Refit the lower pipe and fill the radiator with new fluid up to the indicated level of the expansion tank. Start the engine and run it until the thermostat opens.

When the engine is cold, top up the fluid if necessary. Antifreeze is a chemical product and should not be disposed of in the environment but taken to designated collection and disposal centres.
