COOLING SYSTEM TOP-UP
WARNING
The coolant level in the reservoir should be
checked at least weekly (more frequently in
high mileage or arduous operating
conditions). Always check the level WHEN
THE SYSTEM IS COLD.
Never run the engine without coolant.
NEVER remove the filler cap or radiator filler
plug when the engine is hot - escaping
steam or scalding water could cause serious
injury.
Unscrew the filler cap slowly, allowing the
pressure to escape before removing
completely.
Tdi diesel, V8 & 4-cyl petrol engines
Top-up with a 50% mixture of anti-freeze and
water so that the surface of the coolant is level
with the seam on the side of the tank. Ensure
the cap is tightened fully after top-up is
completed.
DO NOT overfill. This may result in damage to
the radiator.
If the level has fallen appreciably, suspect
leakage or overheating and arrange for your
dealer to examine your vehicle.
NOTE: On V8 models, in addition to checking
the level on the tank, the radiatormay need
topping-up - consult the procedure on the
following page.
