Operation and care in winter
Protection of engine against over-
cooling
Over-cooling of the engine not only
accelerates wear of the vital engine parts
but also deteriorates fuel economy.
Use of specified coolant
To prevent the engine damage due to
freezing of the engine coolant, mix the
coolant and water (distilled water or
deionized water) to be an appropriate
concentration.
Replace damaged rubber hoses as the
engine coolant becomes liable to leak
even past minor cracks when the engine
coolant solution is used.
Refer to "Preparing engine coolant".
Refer to "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS,
LUBRICANTS AND DIESEL FUELS".
Refer to "MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE"
for service interval.
Radiator
Intercooler
Cleaning the radiator core and
intercooler core
Cooling efficiency is compromised when
there is dirt or dust plugging air passages
in the radiator core and intercooler core.
This can also cause corrosion of these
cores. Wash the radiator core with tap
water every 2 years.
