Fluid level checks
Antifreeze will damage painted
surfaces; soak up any spillage with an
absorbent cloth immediately and
wash the area with a mixture of car
shampoo and water.
CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
Brake fluid is highly toxic - keep
containers sealed and out of the reach
of children. If accidental consumption
of fluid is suspected, seek medical
attention immediately.
Top-up to the upper level indicator mark of the
COLD FILL RANGE located on the side of the
expansion tank. Use only a 50% mix of water
and Castrol SF antifreeze.
If the fluid comes into contact with the
skin or eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water.
The specific gravity of a 50% antifreeze
solution at 20°C (68°F) is 1.068 and protects
against frost down to -40°C (-40°F).
Take care not to spill the fluid onto a
hot engine - a fire may result.
Do not drive the vehicle with the fluid
level below the MIN mark.
Antifreeze contains important corrosion
inhibitors. The antifreeze content of the coolant
must be maintained at 50% ± 5% all year round
(not just in cold conditions). To ensure that the
anti-corrosion properties of the coolant are
retained, the antifreeze content should be
checked once a year and completely renewed
every ten years, regardless of distance
Seek qualified assistance
immediately if brake pedal travel is
unusually long or if there is any
significant loss of brake fluid. Driving
under such conditions could result in
extended stopping distances or
complete brake failure.
travelled. Failure to do so may cause corrosion
of the radiator and engine components.
Note: In an emergency - and only if the
approved antifreeze 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 conventional
antifreeze formulations. If in doubt consult a
qualified technician.
If the quantity of fluid in the brake
reservoir drops below the
recommended level, a red warning
lamp in the instrument pack will
illuminate.
Note: If the warning lamp illuminates while the
vehicle is being driven, stop the vehicle as soon
as safety permits by gently applying the brakes.
Check and top-up the fluid level if necessary.
Ensure the cap is tightened fully after top-up is
completed by turning the cap until the ratchet
cap clicks.
With the vehicle on level ground, check the
fluid level at least every week (more frequently
in high mileage or arduous operating
conditions).
