Coolant level
Caution
Too low a coolant level can cause
engine damage.
If the cooling system is cold, the
coolant level should be above the
filling line mark. Top up if the level is
low.
9 Warning
Allow the engine to 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 50/50
mix of de-mineralized water and
phosphate anti-freeze.
In order to protect your vehicle in
extremely cold weather, use a mix of
40 percent water and 60 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.
