Haynes are ok but there are inaccuracies, just below the filler neck is way too high, doesn't allow any room for expansion once the water heats. As you can see from the photos posted by myself and Arctic the MAX coolant level is at the bottom of the tank. Syphon your own tank and you'll see the markings for yourself. If you overfill the tank the excess coolant will be expelled.
Another boo boo in Haynes is that the brake fluid reservoir doubles as the clutch reservoir
. . . . utter bolox! The clutch fluid reservoir is on the master cylinder at the top of the clutch pedal.
