Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required: None for checking coolant level.
Make sure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
Allow the engine to cool completely before proceeding.

2. Locate the Coolant Reservoir

Open the hood of the Renault Clio V.
Identify the coolant reservoir, which is typically a translucent plastic tank located near the front of the engine bay, marked with a coolant symbol.

3. Check Coolant Level

Observe the markings on the side of the coolant reservoir.
- The level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" indicators.
If the coolant is below the "MIN" line, it needs to be topped up.

4. Adding Coolant (if necessary)

Tools Required: Funnel (optional).
Use the correct type of coolant as specified in the owner's manual (usually a specific mix of antifreeze and water).
Carefully open the cap of the coolant reservoir.
Using a funnel, add coolant until it reaches the "MAX" line. Avoid overfilling.
Replace and securely tighten the cap on the coolant reservoir.
