9 Warning
Never remove the coolant
reservoir cap when the engine and
radiator are hot. It could cause
serious injury. The engine must be
cool before opening the cap.
Carefully open the cap, relieving
the pressure slowly.
Fill up with a mixture of demineralised
water and anti-freeze approved for
the vehicle. Install the cap tightly.
Have the anti-freeze concentration
checked and have the cause of the
coolant loss remedied by a workshop.
Note
If the coolant level falls below the line
mark, refill the radiator with 56/44
(Water: 56%) mix of de-mineralised
water and organic acid anti-freeze.
In order to protect your vehicle in
extremely cold weather, use mix of
48 percent water and 52 percent
anti-freeze.
Caution
Plain water or the wrong mixture
can damage the cooling system.
Do not use plain water, alcohol or
methanol anti-freeze in coolant
system.
The engine may overheat or even
catch fire.
Caution
Coolant can be hazardous
material.
Avoid repeated or prolonged
contact with coolant.
Clean your skin and nails with
soap and water after coming in
contact with coolant.
Keep out of reach of children.
Coolant can irritate the skin and
can cause illness or death if
swallowed.
Caution
It is not needed to add coolant
more frequently than the
recommended interval.
If you are adding coolant often,
this may be a sign that your engine
needs maintenance.
We recommend that you consult
your authorised workshop.
