When new,
the

inhibitor Anti-freeze

a ratio of 40% for very cold territories and 30% for others.
To drain
the
system, set
the
heater temperature control lever fully forward, remove
the
cap from
the
header tank, and open
the
drain tap on
the
radiator. To fill the
system, shut the drain tap, and set the temperature
level
to
"Def".
Fill
wi.th
coolant
to
within 25mm
(1
in)
of
the
bottom of
the
filler neck on
the
header tank.
Check
that
the
heater system
is
free of air locks. If necessary, release
the
outlet
(upper) hose clip

topped up with water and a
suitable solvent.
Air
spoiler
The spoiler, situated beneath the nose of
the
car,
is
essential
to
the
correct function
of the
cool·ing system. Check regularly
that
no paper, leaves, etc. are covering the

grille. Take care when parking the car nose into the kerb, and on driveway,
ramps, and
in
multi-storey car parks.
If

as
possible.
If
it
is
necessary
to
(jrive
tbe

not
show a serious rise
in
temperature.
