6.4.3 Coolant
Function of coolant
Coolant has functions such as cooling, anti-
freezing and anti-corrosion.
Specifications of coolant
When the vehicle leaves the factory, the
cooling system has been filled with coolant,
which can be used in the year-round climate
except for extreme cold weather.
NOTE
● Specifications of coolant: DF-6, -35°C.
● Be sure to go to the GAC Motor
authorized shop to change the coolant
according to the period specified in the
Warranty Manual
.
● If the coolant discolors, the maintenance
cycle shall be shortened and the coolant
shall be changed at the GAC Motor
authorized shop.
High engine coolant temperature indicator
lamp
If the coolant temperature is too high, the
indicator lamp on the instrument cluster
comes on in red, and an alarm message is
given to prompt the driver; at this time, the
vehicle must be stopped in a safe place and
the engine shut down. After the engine cools
down, check the coolant level.
If the coolant level is normal but the indicator
lamp is still on after the engine is started, do
not continue to start the engine. In this case,
contact the GAC Motor authorized shop timely
for overhaul.
Inspecting the coolant level
Be sure to check the coolant level regularly.
Park the vehicle on a level ground, apply the
parking brake, and shut down the engine. After
the engine cools down, open the engine hood
and then check the coolant level.
WARNING
● The engine compartment is a high-
risk area. Be sure to read and follow
the relevant warning instructions
carefully before opening the engine
hood.
● If steam or coolant flows out from the
engine compartment, do not open
the engine hood, for fear of burns;
wait till there is no steam or coolant
overflowing and the engine cools
down before opening the engine
hood.
