Recommendations: The manufacturer recommends using the following coolants:
- TOSOL AM;
- TOSOL A-40M;

Before starting work, place the vehicle on a level surface.
Expansion tank
The expansion tank is installed in the underhood space on the left mudguard and secured with an elastic belt.
Warnings! Check the coolant level only when the engine is cold. Coolant is toxic, so take precautions when working with it.
Do not pour fluid into the tank above the "MAX" mark, as its volume will increase when the engine is running.
When starting the engine, the expansion tank cap must be closed.
Helpful tips. Constantly monitor the coolant level. Its sharp decrease or increase should be a signal for immediate contact with the car service.
If freshly poured antifreeze suddenly and unexpectedly quickly changed color from blue to brown, it means you were sold a fake, to which they "forgot" to add corrosion inhibitors. Replace the liquid as quickly as possible before it has time to corrode the cooling system.
Checking the level and adding coolant
1. The coolant level must be between the "MAX" and "MIN" marks on the wall of the expansion tank.

2. To add fluid, unscrew the expansion tank cap…

3. …and add coolant to the required level.
4. Screw the cap of the expansion tank back on and remove any spilled liquid with a clean cloth.
Warning! Tighten the expansion tank cap tightly.
The expansion tank is under pressure when the engine is running, so if the cap is not tightened properly, coolant may leak out from underneath it or the cap may be torn off.
