Simple inspection and service
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)
See the instructions on adding coolant.
P. 12-41
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.
If checked when hot, the coolant level will be
high due to expansion.
•
Deposition may occur in the reserve tank but
this will not cause any problem.
1. Open the front panel. P. 12-3
2. The coolant level in reservoir tank should be
between the “FULL” and “LOW” lines.
If the level is below the “LOW” line, you must
add coolant. See the next page for the method.
3. Check for coolant leaks 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 an authorized
dealer.
4. Close the front panel. P. 12-3
