Cold Weather Precautions
The cooling system must be filled with equal quantities of antifreeze and water to maintain a
minimum concentration of 50%, i.e. -39°C. Any top ups must therefore be done with a 50%
mixture of antifreeze and water. The concentration level should be checked at the 500 hour
service interval as failure to observe this can cause corrosion of the engine block.
Checking the Oil Level - Check Daily
The engine oil level is electronically monitored, if low it is displayed via the icon on the
Information Bar of the JVM. The oil level can be manually checked using the dipstick (A).
The recommended oil is shown in the lubrication chart at the end of this chapter.
Checking the Coolant Level - Check Daily
The coolant level (B) is electronically monitored, if low it is displayed via the icon on the
Information Bar of the JVM. Ensure the engine is cool before topping up the level.

Checking the Oil Level
The sight glass (C) allows a quick reference and, if the oil level is not visible on the window,
the level requires topping up.
The level plug (D) should be removed and oil top up until it comes out of the port, allow the
oil to drain out until the level has settled and re-fit the plug.
