Engine coolant
The vehicle coolant not only provides
antifreeze protection in low temperature
environments, but also protects all light
alloy components in the cooling system
from corrosion. In addition, it can prevent
deposits and signicantly increase the
boiling point of the coolant.
If, due to climate reasons, stronger
antifreeze protection is required, please
contact an after-sales service shop to select
an original coolant with stronger antifreeze
capabilities.
Under no circumstances can the original
coolant be mixed with other cooling
additives. If the liquid color in the
expansion tank changes, it indicates that the
coolant has been mixed with other coolant
or additives. In this case, the coolant must
be replaced immediately, otherwise serious
functional failure or engine failure may
occur.
If the engine overheats in the vehicle,
it is prohibited to use solutions with a
coolant concentration of more than 60%
and less than 35%, which may damage the
engine cooling system. When adding or
replacing the coolant, select the appropriate
concentration according to the following
table:
Ambient Temperature
(°C)
Coolant Concentration
(%)
-15 35
-35 40
-25 50
-45 55
Danger
● Do not remove the radiator cap or
coolant reservoir cap in case of hot
engine. Otherwise, the high-pressure
coolant sprayed from the radiator
may cause severe scald.
● Engine coolant is toxic and should be
carefully stored in labeled containers
and kept out of the reach of children
and pets.
Warning
● It is prohibited to use coolant that
does not meet the standards and
requirements. Losses caused by
using coolant that does not meet
the standards are not covered by the
warranty.
● No other additives should be added
if the original coolant is not available
in an emergency. In this case, only
puried water can be added and the
correct mixing ratio of water and
coolant should be restored at the
after-sales service shop as soon as
possible.
● When the engine is hot, it is
prohibited to ll it with coolant. It
must be done after the engine cools
down, otherwise serious engine
damage may occur.
● Try to use the same brand of coolant.
Dierent brands of coolant have
dierent product formulas. In case
of mixed use, chemical reactions
