components should be used in the cooling sys-
tem. No further additives or inhibitors should be
used. The coolant specific gravity should be

Engine Coolant Level
The
engine coolant level may be observed
through the side of the plastic coolant reservoir
(expansion tank) when the engine is cold. If the
levelisbelowthe"LOW"mark,addcoolantofthe
correct concentration until the level is between
the "LOW" and "Full" marks. If the level falls

To Change the Engine Coolant
The engine coolant should be changed at those
intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance
schedule in Section 5.
The use of methanol based anti freeze com-
poundsmayresultinengineoverheatingandwill
invalidate the vehicle warranty.
NOTE:
Care should be taken to ensure that coolant
is not allowed to spill onto the paintwork
since the finish may become damaged. If
coolant spillage occurs, the affected area
should be rinsed thoroughly with water.
