ANTI-FREEZE
Anti-freeze is poisonous and can be fatal if swallowed - keep
containers sealed and out of the reach of children. If accidental
consumption is suspected, seek medical attention immediately.
Prevent anti-freeze coming into contact with the skin or eyes.
If this occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
The anti-freeze content of the coolant must be maintained
between 50% and 60% all year round (not just in cold conditions).
To ensure that the anti-corrosion properties of the coolant are
retained, the anti-freeze content should be checked by your dealer
once a year and the coolant completely renewed every four years,
regardless of distance travelled.
NOTE: DO NOT add rust inhibitors or other additives to the coolant -
these may not be compatible with the coolant or engine components.
Coolant specification
Use ONLY a 50% mix of water and Havoline Extended Life
Coolant (XLC), or any ethylene glycol based anti-freeze
(containing no methanol) with Organic Acid Technology (OAT)
corrosion inhibitors, meeting BTC coding type 4E.
In an emergency - and only if this type of anti-freeze is unavailable
- top-up the cooling system with clean water, but be aware of the
resultant reduction in frost protection. DO NOT top-up or refill
with other anti-freeze formulations. If in doubt, consult a dealer.
