COOLING SYSTEM
A pressurized cooling system is used on this vehicle and the pressure must be
released gradually when removing the radiator filler cap while the system is hot.
It
is advisable to protect the hands against escaping steam
and
then
turn
the cap
slowly anti-clockwise until the resistance of the safety stop is felt. Leave the cap
in this position until all pressure is released. Press the cap downwards against
the spring to clear the safety stops and continue turning until it can be lifted off.

Frost precautions
Water, when it freezes, expands, and if precautions are not taken there is
considerable risk of bursting the radiator, cylinder block, or heater (where fitted).
Such damage may be avoided by drain ing the cooling system when the vehicle
is left for any length of time in frosty weather, or by adding anti-freeze to the
water.
Warning
When a heater unit is fitted an anti-freeze solution must be added in the cooling
system since no provision is made for draining the heater.
Do not use radiator anti-freeze solution
in the windshield-washing equipment.
