Coolant recommendations
NOTE:
SG050C1-E
Coolant Level
It is imperative that vehicles fitted
with an air conditioning system
have a coolant concentration of
the recommended strength at all
times. The use of the air condition-
ing system when the cooling sys-
tem is filled with water only will
result in the heater matrix freezing
and subsequently bursting.
Petrol Engine
Only ethylene glycol based coolant
with a corrosion inhibitor suited to
aluminium alloy engine components
should be used in the cooling system.
No further additives or inhibitors should
be used. The coolant specific gravity
should be checked as prescribed in
the maintenance schedule to ensure
adequate frost and corrosion protec-
tion. In addition, the engine coolant
must be replaced at the specified
interval since the corrosion inhibitor
properties deteriorate with time.
It is important to note that whilst an
increase in the concentration of anti
freeze gives an increase in the level
of frost protection, a solution which is
in excess of 65% anti freeze will
result in reduced frost protection and
engine overheating. Therefore the rec-
ommended concentration of 50%
should not be exceeded for general
use.

Diesel Engine
HJM5004
The use of methanol based anti freeze
compounds may result in engine over-
heating and will invalidate the vehicle
warranty.
