Anti-freeze/Corrosion inhibitor
The cooling system must always contain an
Ethylene-Glycol based anti-freeze solution. The
system is filled during manufacture with solu-
tion of the correct strength which should be
checked before the onset of winter and adjust-
ed or changed as required.
NOTE:
The anti-freeze solution contains a corro-
sion inhibitor to prevent degradation of the
aluminum castings contained within the
engine. Therefore, never, drain the system
and refill with water only.
In addition, anti-freeze solution must ALWAYS
be used in vehicles fitted with air conditioning,
to prevent the heater matrix from freezing and
subsequently bursting with the refrigeration sys-
tem in use.

Electrical System
Winter conditions impose severe demands upon
vehicle electrical systems, particularly the charg-
ing circuit. The battery condition and perfor-
mance along with the alternator performance
and drive belt condition should be checked prior
to the onset of winter.
o Don’t "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging
is driving too slowly in too high a gear
resulting in the engine bucking. If this hap-
pens to you, shift to a lower gear.
Over-revving is racing the engine beyond its
safe limit. This can be avoided by shifting at
the recommended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air
conditioning system is operated by the en-
gine power so your fuel economy is reduced
when you use it.

SMOOTH CORNERING
Avoid braking or gear changing in corners,
especially when roads are wet. Ideally, corners
should always be taken under gentle accelera-
tion. If you follow these suggestions, tire wear
will be held to a minimum.

WINTER MOTORING
The onset of winter conditions subject motor
vehicles to greater operating demands. There-
fore, the following suggestions will assist in
maintaining peak performance and reliability
during these periods:

Door Locks
Should the door lock mechanism become fro-
zen, a proprietary lock de-icer should be used.
Alternatively, warming the door key may thaw
the door lock. However, the key should be
handled carefully to avoid burning the fingers.
Never attempt to thaw a frozen door lock using
hot water, since the water will eventually freeze
and compound the problem.
NOTE:
The proper temperature for using the immo-
bilizer key is from -40°F to 176°F(from -40°C
to 80°C). If you heat the immobilizer key
over 176°F(80°C) to open the frozen lock, it
may cause damage to the transponder in its
head.
ZC170E1-E
Windscreen Washers & Wipers
The windscreen washer bottle should be filled
with a solution of water and a proprietary winter
screen wash additive. The windscreen wipers
should not be used it the blades are frozen to
the windscreen or if they are covered with
snow, before this is removed.
NOTE:
Never allow undiluted screen washer fluid
additive to spill upon the paintwork or use
engine coolant anti-freeze since damage to
the paintwork may result.
