3.10 CHECKING THE COOLANT FREEZING POINT
When the coolant is hot, there is an
overpressure in the cooling system.
Carefully remove the filler cap to
release the overpressure.
Do not remove the filler cap when the
engine is running.
Coolant is a toxic fluid. Contact with
the skin should therefore be
avoided.
In the event of contact with the skin:
remove with paper or a cloth, wash
with soap and water. If irritation
persists, consult a doctor.
If swallowed: DO NOT induce
vomiting. Rinse mouth, drink two
glasses of water and consult a
doctor.
In the event of inhalation: get some
fresh air and rest.
In order to avoid damaging the
cylinder block, do not top up a warm
engine with coolant.
1. Check the anti-freeze content of the coolant.
Fill the cooling system with anti-freeze, if this
has not been done yet. Always use only
coolants that meet DAF specifications.
2. Consult the manufacturer’s instructions for
the correct anti-freeze mixing ratio.
Preferably, use 40% anti-freeze on an
ethylene glycol base. At this percentage, not
only good frost protection, but also good
corrosion protection is guaranteed.
