Use the following table to determine the correct
concentration of FUSO DIESEL LONGLIFE COOL-
ANT according to the lowest temperature at which
your vehicle is to be operated.
FUSO DIESEL LONGLIFE COOLANT concentra-
tion (in volume percentage)
NOTE:
Vehicles are shipped with a 50% concentration of
FUSO DIESEL LONGLIFE COOLANT and can
therefore be used at temperatures down to – 30
°
C
( – 22 ° F).
CAUTION
Use FUSO DIESEL LONGLIFE COOLANT at a
concentration of between 30% and 60%. The
proper concentration under normal tempera-
tures is 30%. At a concentration below 30%, this
additive performs poorly as an anticorrosive,
while at a concentration exceeding 60%, it per-
forms poorly as an antifreeze.
4 Check
NOTE:
•
Always check the coolant level before starting
the engine when the coolant temperature is low.
When the coolant gets hot, it expands, making
the level look higher than it actually is.
•
Deposition may occur in the reserve tank but
this will not cause any problem.
•
The coolant level is sufficient if it is between the
“FULL” and “LOW” marks on the coolant reser-
voir tank.
•
If the coolant level is below the “LOW” line,
make sure coolant is not leaking from the cool-
ing system then add coolant until it reaches the
“FULL” line.
•
Check for coolant leakage from the radiator and
radiator hoses.
If you find water on the ground from which your
vehicle has been moved after parking, coolant is
probably leaking.
•
If the coolant level is abnormally low and quickly
drops again when coolant has been added,
coolant may be leaking from the cooling system.
Have the vehicle inspected by your nearest
authorized dealer.
