Dacia Striker
Coolant
Combustion engine coolant
-
With the engine off and the vehicle on flat ground, the level when cold must be between the "MINI" and "MAXI" marks on the coolant reservoir 1.
Top this level up when cold before it reaches the "MINI" mark.
Frequency of checking coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly (very severe damage is likely to be caused to the combustion engine if it runs out of coolant).
If the level needs to be topped up, only use products approved by our Technical Department which ensure:
- antifreeze protection;
- anti-corrosion protection of the cooling system.
warning
No operations should be carried out on the cooling circuit when the combustion engine is hot.
Risk of burns.
Replacement intervals
Refer to the maintenance document for your vehicle.
warning
Before carrying out any operation in the engine compartment, you must switch off the ignition Ignition-starter switch on a vehicle with key or Ignition-starter switch on a vehicle with card.
tip
If there is an abnormal or repeated drop in the oil level, contact an approved Dealer.
warning
When working close to the combustion engine, be aware that it may be hot. The engine cooling fan may also start at any moment. The
label in the engine compartment reminds you of this.
Risk of injury.
Electric traction system coolant
(Hybrid version)
This system is different to that of the combustion engine. It is used for cooling the electric motor.
warning
Before carrying out any operation in the engine compartment, you must switch off the ignition Ignition-starter switch on a vehicle with key or Ignition-starter switch on a vehicle with card.
Reading the level
-
With the ignition off and the vehicle parked on level ground, unscrew the coolant reservoir cap 2.
The level when cold must be between the "MIN"3 and "MAX"4 marks indicated inside the funnel.
Frequency of checking coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly (very severe damage is likely to be caused to the electrical circuit if it runs out of coolant).
If a top-up is required, you must contact an Approved Dealer to perform the top-up.
warning
No operations should be carried out on the cooling circuit when the combustion engine is hot.
Risk of burns.
Replacement intervals

Brake fluid level
-
This should be checked frequently, and immediately if you notice even the slightest loss in braking efficiency.
The level should be read with the engine switched off and on level ground.
warning
Before carrying out any operation in the engine compartment, you must switch off the ignition Ignition-starter switch on a vehicle with key or Ignition-starter switch on a vehicle with card.
Level
It is normal for the level to drop as the brake linings become worn, but it must never drop below the "MINI" warning line shown on the brake fluid reservoir 1.
If you wish to check the disc and drum wear yourself, you should obtain the document explaining the checking procedure from the manufacturer's network or website.
warning
When working in the engine compartment, ensure that the windscreen wiper stalk is in the park position.
Risk of injury.
Filling
After any operation on the hydraulic circuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by the Technical Department and which have been taken from a sealed container.
Replacement intervals
Refer to the maintenance document for your vehicle.

Screen washer
Filling
-
With the engine off, open the cap 2. Fill until you can see the fluid, then replace the cap.
This reservoir supplies the front and rear headlight screen washers (if the vehicle is equipped with them).
Note: regularly check the reservoir level and top up the fluid before going on a journey.
Fluid: Only use windscreen washer fluid containing antifreeze.
We advise you to consult an approved Dealer or a qualified professional.
Note: do not use hard water (risk of damage to the priming pump or limescale building up on the pump and the jets).
Jets: To adjust the height of the windscreen washer jets, please consult an approved Dealer.
