Because of the necessity of this anti-corro-
sion agent, the coolant must not be replaced
with plain water even in summer. The re-
quired concentration of anti-freeze differs de-
pending on the expected ambient tempera-
ture.
Above -35 °C: 50 % concentration of anti-
freeze
Below -35 °C: 60 % concentration of anti-
freeze
CAUTION
l Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze
or any engine coolants mixed with alcohol
or methanol anti-freeze. The use of an im-
proper anti-freeze can cause corrosion of the
aluminium components.
l Do not use water to adjust the concentration
of coolant.
l Concentrations exceeding 60 % will result in
a reduction of both the anti-freeze and cool-
ing performance thus adversely affecting the
engine.
l Do not top up with water only.
Water by itself reduces the rust-protective
and anti-freeze qualities of the coolant and
has a lower boiling point. It can also cause
damage to the cooling system if it should
freeze. Do not use tapwater, as it can cause
corrosion and rust formation.
During cold weather
If the temperatures in your area drop below
freezing, there is the danger that the coolant
in the engine or radiator could freeze and
cause severe damage to the engine and/or ra-
diator. Add a sufficient amount of anti-freeze
to the coolant to prevent it from freezing.
The concentration should be checked before
the start of cold weather and anti-freeze add-
ed to the system if necessary.
Washer fluid
Open the washer fluid reservoir cap and
check the level of washer fluid with the dip-
stick.
If the level is low, replenish the container
with washer fluid.

NOTE
l
The washer fluid container serves the wind-
screen, rear window and headlamps (if so
equipped).
During cold weather
To ensure proper operation of the washers at
low temperatures, use a fluid containing an
anti-freezing agent.
Brake fluid/Clutch fluid*
The brake fluid and the clutch fluid share the
reservoir tank.
