Cooling System: Service Precautions





CAUTION:

- Cooling system must always be filled and topped-up with solution of water and anti-freeze, winter and summer. Never use water alone, this may corrode aluminium alloy.
- Do not use salt water otherwise corrosion will occur. In certain territories where only available natural water supply has some salt content use only rain or distilled water.

NOTE:

- Should ambient temperatures be below that stated above, refer to the illustration. Instructions in chart must be strictly adhered to before driving vehicle.
- After the second winter the system should be drained and thoroughly flushed. Before adding new anti-freeze examine all joints and replace defective hoses to make sure that the system is leakproof.
