Frost and corrosion precautions
In production your vehicle was filled with an
antifreeze solution to minimise internal corrosion
in the engine cooling and heater systems, and to
provide protection against frost damage.
Because of the different materials used in the
engine and cooling system components, to
prevent corrosion it is essential that only Super
Plus 2000 antifreeze solution is used in service.
This is a long life coolant and the cooling system
should be drained, flushed through and refilled
with new antifreeze solution every 5 years.
Follow the instructions given on the antifreeze
container to determine the mixing ratio of
antifreeze to water to be used for the lowest
anticipated temperature which may be
anticipated (a minimum of 50% by volume is
recommended).
Have your Dealer check the specific gravity of
the antifreeze solution every year sometime
before winter conditions are likely to be
experienced. The overall concentration of
antifreeze should not fall below 50% by volume.
The approximate quantities of antifreeze
required are shown in the table below.
CAUTION: To protect the engine and
cooling system components from
corrosion, antifreeze solution should
always be used in the cooling system even
when ambient temperatures are such that
freezing conditions are not normally
experienced.
Never use antifreeze solution in the
windscreen washer systems

TYRES
Special 'taxi' tyres are fitted in production and
should always be fitted as replacements. Cross
ply and remoulded tyres should not be used.
The tyre pressures should be checked each
week (including the spare) when the tyres are
cold. The recommended tyre pressures are:
Front 35 psi (2.4 bar)
Rear 40 psi (2.7 bar)
See tyre size, type and rating on general
information page.
The condition of the tyres should also be
checked each week for any sign of damage,
foreign material, or deterioration which could
affect the operation of the vehicle.
WARNING: Driving with tyres
incorrectly inflated can be hazardous
and causes rapid tyre wear and
possible permanent damage to the tyre
casing.
Valves and valve caps.
Valve caps should be fitted back after checking
tyre pressures as they prevent the entry of dirt
and water into the valves and form an additional
air seal.
