Warning
-
• A hot engine can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool before replacing the water-cooled charge air cooler coolant.
• Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool. Even then, be very careful when removing the cap. Wrap a thick cloth around it and slowly turn it counterclockwise to the first stop. Step back while the pressure escapes.
• When you are sure all the pressure is gone, press down on the cap using the cloth, turn it, and remove it.
-
Caution
-
• Use engine coolant at a concentration that meets the environmental conditions in which the vehicle is driven, otherwise engine damage could occur.
• The engine has aluminum parts and must be protected by an ethylene-glycol-based coolant to prevent corrosion and freezing.
• Do not use coolants containing Alcohol, Methanol, Borate or Silicate. These coolants could damage the cooling system.
• Use only soft (demineralized) water in the coolant mixture. Water that contains minerals will cut down on the coolant's effectiveness.
• Engine coolant damages paint. If engine coolant does get on a painted surface, rinse it off quickly.
-
Note
-
• For vehicles with an “FL22” mark on or near the water-cooled charge air cooler reserve tank cap, use genuine long-life coolant (golden).
• Because genuine long-life coolant (golden) is diluted, use it as it is when replacing the coolant. Also when adding, use it as it is.
