Because of the necessity of this anti-corrosion agent, the cool-
ant must not be replaced with plain water even in summer. The
required concentration of anti-freeze differs depending on the
expected ambient temperature.
Diesel-powered vehicles
The coolant level in this tank should be kept between the
“LOW” and “FULL” marks when measured while the engine is
cold.

CAUTION
!
●
Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze or any
engine coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol
anti-freeze. The use of an improper anti-freeze can
cause corrosion of the aluminium components.
●
For effective anti-corrosion and anti-freeze per-
formance, keep the anti-freeze concentration within
the range of 30 to 60 %.
Concentrations exceeding 60 % will result in a
reduction of both the anti-freeze and cooling per-
formance thus adversely affecting the engine.
●
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 boil-
ing 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.
