2020 Metro - can't find coolant gauge
 
Just bought a 2020 Metropolitan (built in Dec 2019) and read manual about how/where to check fluids. The manual (says "2020" on cover) says to open seat and look through the clear plastic window to see the coolant gauge. I can't see anything there but a red tab with a "+" on it, which I guess is attached to the battery. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Is the manual wrong? Thanks!

It means look at the coolant tank to see the fluid level. There's no gauge. Just the bottle itself. Same thing as in a car.

Guess I wasnt' clear. The manual indicates you can see the coolant tank level (I said "gauge" which was wrong) through a plastic window in the seat storage compartment. It appears I have to remove the seat storage bin (4 screws?) to see the tank?

Easier to just remove the maintenance cover (p.69 in the manual), open the reservoir cap and look inside.

Got it! Thanks. After opening it and looking at the reserve tank, I see that I was not looking low enough (and to the left) to see the reserve tank markings through the (semi-) clear window in the seat storage compartment.

I have a 2019 metro that I can find the reserve tank but no cap to take off to add coolant. The users manual (see pic) shows it in the seat and simply says to add coolant if it's low (see pic below), but I cannot find the cap for the life of me. Thanks for any thoughts/recommendations you might have.
