To check coolant level, allow engine to cool down; coolant temperature may not exceed 30°C. If ambient temperature is above 30°C, then allow engine to cool down at least to ambient temperature.

Check coolant level, top up coolant if necessary until float is in line with top edge of expansion tank.
