Cold Weather Precautions
The cooling system must be filled with equal quantities of antifreeze and water to maintain a
minimum concentration of 50%, i.e. -39°C. Any top ups must therefore be done with a 50% mixture
of antifreeze and water. The concentration level should be checked at the 500 hour service interval
as failure to observe this can cause corrosion of the engine block.
