ENGINE COOLANT CHECK-
ING AND REPLACING
engine and ensure that no oil leaks
exist. Turn off the engine and after
a couple minutes, recheck the oil
level.
SG050A1-E
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 recom-
mended concentration of 50% should
not be exceeded for general use.
The use of methanol based anti freeze
compounds may result in engine over-
heating and will invalidate the vehicle
warranty.
!
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when
the engine is hot, since the system
is pressurised and coolant may be
ejected from the radiator resulting
in scalding.
!
CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oil
by using a funnel. Do not overfill to
prevent engine damage.
SG050B1-E
Coolant recommendations
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 pre-
scribed in the maintenance schedule
to ensure adequate frost and corro-
sion protection. In addition, the en-
gine coolant must be replaced at the
specified interval since the corrosion
inhibitor properties deteriorate with
time.
!
WARNING:
NOTE:
Prolonged and repeated contact with
used engine oils may result in seri-
ous skin disorders including der-
matitis and cancer. Avoid contact
with skin as far as possible and
always wash thoroughly after any
contact. Keep used oils out of reach
of children. It is illegal to pollute
drains, water courses and soil. Use
only authorisedwaste collection fa-
cilities including civic amenity
sites and garages for the disposal
of used oil and oil filters. If in doubt,
contact the local authority for dis-
posal instructions.
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.
