COOLING SYSTEM
Checking the Coolant
The coolant level should be checked weekly
when the cooling system is cold, and the car
resting on a plane level. Liquid level should
stand between (Max) and (min) signs on the
vertical wall of the radiator (next to filler cap).
Top up the radiator on necessity.
Filling the Radiator
If the engine is warm, wait 15 minutes until the
engine temperature falls below 100 C. Protect
your hands with a cloth and unscrew the filler
cap carefully and slowly to the safety stop,
letting radiator pressure fall.
NOTICE:
If more than one liter is needed to
top up, an authorized representative should
check the cooling system. Make sure that it is
fully tightened to the second thread.
In an emergency, and only if the recommended
anti-freeze is not available use clear water to fill
the cooling system, but be noted that it reduces
coolant freezing protection. Always use the
antifreezes with recommended formula and
approved brands and packages that are
offered by ISACO.
Important Note:
Cooling system draining
and refilling are service operations that need
sufficient knowledge, and should be carried
out by qualified personnel according to the
instructions of the repair handbook.
It is necessary to replace the coolant every two
years. The coolant resists freezing down to - 30
degree centigrade.
Anti-Freeze
Anti-Freeze contains corrosion inhibitors.
Anti freeze content of the coolant should be
maintained between 40-50%, not only in cold
weather but also all the year.
WARNING
Anti-freeze solution is poisonous, and
could be fatal if swallowed. Keep it sealed
and out of children’s reach. If you suspect
of drinking it, refer to the physician
immediately.
Prevent anti-freeze solution contacting
with the skin and eyes. If you accidentally
get it in your eyes or on your skin, flush
the place with water and get medical help
immediately.
WARNING
The evacuation must be done by
authorized deal of IKCO ,if any of cooling
system (except radiator) gets open or
repaired .
Avoid opening the radiator cap unless the
vehicle is off at least for an hour.
