Not a dumb question at all. Coolant is used for the electric motors and traction battery.Coolant in our I-Pace? :-O This never even crossed my mind. Since the I-Pace has free & included maintenance...not better to just swing by the dealer? What are we adding coolant to, where and for what? Did you get a warning??
Sorry for the dumb question. In a pure EV, this has never even been a thought.
Thanks Curt. How do we know if we need to add coolant, where would it go?Not a dumb question at all. Coolant is used for the electric motors and traction battery.
It's funny but checking the coolant level is recommended weekly in the owners manual but my service advisor said that there's a low coolant light on the instrument panel. The reservoirs are located in the trunk under the access panels.Thanks Curt. How do we know if we need to add coolant, where would it go?
I had a low coolant light come on while I was reversing up an incline. It cleared and has not happened again. Supposedly you are to check coolant level ever week (!) and figured I should have some on handCoolant in our I-Pace? :-O This never even crossed my mind.

That reminds me, I have a "handle" I found in the trunk with other accessories I got that has a frunk symbol on it. It might be what is sort of in the screen capture on the right side. Any ideas what it is? I can post a picture of it if it would help. It is female threaded on the end opposite the frunk symbol and looks like a round handle.The circled #2 is the location for the coolant and brake fluid reservoir.
A photo would help as I don't know what the handle is. Thanks!That reminds me, I have a "handle" I found in the trunk with other accessories I got that has a frunk symbol on it.

Top is a little less than 2 inches in diameter.A photo would help as I don't know what the handle is. Thanks!
Interesting! I'll take a look in the Frunk.Top is a little less than 2 inches in diameter.
Sorry, Pete, I opened the access panels in the frunk and I can't find anything that looks like the photo. It appears to be a cap of some sort.Top is a little less than 2 inches in diameter.
Thanks, Steve. Now I can sleep!I have seen a forum thread describing something similar to this thing.
I believe this is the cover for the emergency frunk release pull cable.
I think it screws into the carpet trim located on the driver or passengers outer footwell.
If it has fallen out there should be a matching hole in the carpet. It should screw in opposite to the arrows on the top.
Cheers, Steve
