Protection of the engine against
freezing
Overcooled engine not only acceler-
ates wear of its vital parts but also
reduces fuel economy. Before driving
off, warm up the engine beyond 60°C.
Use of antifreeze
To prevent freezing and corrosion of
the engine when operating the vehi-
cle in extremely cold places, be sure
to add a specified amount of
antifreeze to coolant.
Precautions when using
antifreeze
1. Wash off the inside of the cooling
system including the radiator
before using anti–freeze.
2. Replace any damaged rubber
hoses. If there is just a hair crack
on these hoses, antifreeze is liable
to leak.
3. Antifreeze should be handled with
extreme care as it can cause dam-
age to coated surfaces of periph-
eral components.
