4. Usage and Maintenance
Adding Coolant
After inspecting the coolant level, add coolant if
necessary in the following steps:
-
Wrap the expansion tank cover with a large
and thick cloth and carefully screw it out
anticlockwise.
-
Slowly add coolant to make the coolant level
reach the scope of marker line on the side of
expansion tank.
-
Install and tighten the expansion tank cover
clockwise.
Caution
●
Please firstly inspect the level before
adding coolant, and get ready
according to the inspection
requirements.
●
When the engine is in warm or hot
condition, the cooling system is under
high pressure. At this moment, never
open the coolant expansion tank cover.
Otherwise, you may be scalded by the
steam.
●
Each time when screwing the
expansion tank cover, use cloth to
wrap the cover to avoid scald.
●
Add new coolant only and the
discharged coolant cannot be reused.
Hint
When the engine is hot, the coolant level
may exceed the MAX mark slightly.
Warning
●
Store both the used and unused
coolant in their original containers
respectively and keep them out the
reach of children.
●
Do not store the coolant in a food
container or other non-original
container to avoid confusing, resulting
in poisoning.
●
Make sure the anti-freezing capability
of the coolant is sufficient in cold
weather. Add enough DF-6 coolant
based on the environment temperature.
Otherwise, the coolant may be frozen,
resulting in breakdown of the car. In
addition, the driver and passengers will
be exposed to severe cold due to the
disabled heating system.
