ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM & BRAKE SYSTEM
Cooling system :
If engine overheating occurs, there could be a fault in the
cooling system which may be on account of :
1. Less coolant in the system or dirt/ scale having
accumulated inside coolant passages, especially in the
radiator core.
2. Chocking of radiator passages due to foreign material or
damages.
3. Defective/stuck thermostat.
4. Loose fan drive belt.
5. Coolant leakage from system.
Always use genuine radiator cap of 1.0 kg/cm2 ( 14 psi ), if
required to be replaced. A proper radiator cap firmly fitted
maintains pressure in the cooling system.
Prevention of rust formation :
Use genuine co-branded premixed coolant in the cooling
system to prevent rust formation and freezing of coolant
inside the crankcase passages.
Fill the engine coolant auxiliary tank upto ‘FULL’ mark.
Changing of coolant in the cooling system :
a. Drain the cooling system and flush it with clean water.
b. Pour the genuine co-branded coolant into the radiator until it is
full.
c. Start the engine. Top up the radiator with coolant.
d. Fill the auxiliary tank upto ‘FULL’ mark.
e. Ensure no leakage in the system.
For Engine Coolant Tank location, please refer
respective Engine Compartment pages (Page 73 & 74)
Brake system
The dual circuit service brake system operated through the
tandem master cylinder is designed such that one circuit
will continue to provide braking action if the other circuit
fails. This vehicle is fitted with disc brakes at front and
drum brakes at rear.
Stopping the vehicle after loss of the brake fluid in one circuit
will require more pedal pressure and pedal travel than normal.
Also stopping distance will be longer.
Service brakes are vacuum assisted. In case of failure of
vacuum, the vehicle can still be stooped, however with a
higher effort.
