ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDED
PROTECTION
DI Engines
NOTE:
This procedure requires approximately 2.5 L
(2.6 U.S. qt.) of antifreeze.
In cool regions (where freezing point may be encoun-
tered), cooling system should be filled with water and
antifreeze solution (40% water, 60% antifreeze).
CAUTION:
Remaining water in cooling system
will freeze. If antifreezing is not performed ade-
quately engine/exhaust system may freeze and
cause severe engine damage. Always use ethyl-
ene glycol antifreeze containing corrosion inhib-
itors specifically recommended for aluminum
engines.
NOTE:
When available, it is recommended to use
biodegradable antifreeze compatible with internal
combustion aluminum engines. This will
contrib-
ute to protect the environment.
NOTE:
The engine will not have to run during this
operation.
Hose Pinchers Installation
Some hoses have to be plugged to prevent drain-
ing, before filling cooling system jackets with the
antifreeze.
Install hose pinchers at the following location:
