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.
Diesel engine
!
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.

Coolant recommended
Only  ethylene  glycol  based coolant
with a corrosion inhibitor suited to alu-
minium   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 in-
terval since the corrosion inhibitor prop-
erties deteriorate with time.
Petrol engine
NOTE:
It is imperative  that vehicles fitted
with an air conditioning system have
a coolant concentration of the rec-
ommended  strength  at  all  times.
The use of the air conditioning sys-
tem  when  the  cooling  system  is
filled with  water only will result  in
the heater matrix freezing and sub-
sequently bursting.
