Fluid level checks
212
Antifreeze contains important corrosion
inhibitors. The antifreeze content of the coolant
must be maintained at 50% ± 5% all year round
(not just in cold conditions). To make sure the
anti-corrosion properties of the coolant are
retained, the antifreeze content should be
checked once a year and completely renewed
every ten years, regardless of the distance
travelled. Failure to do so may cause corrosion
of the radiator and engine components. The
specific gravity of a 50% antifreeze solution at
20°C (68°F) is 1.068 and protects against frost
down to -40°C (-40°F).
1. Remove the coolant reservoir filler cap by
rotating counter clockwise.
2. Top up to the MAX indicator mark on the
side of the coolant reservoir. Use a mixture
of 50% water and 50% antifreeze. See 252,
LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS.
Note: In an emergency - and only if the
approved antifreeze is unavailable - top up
the cooling system with clean water, but be
aware of the resultant reduction in frost
protection. Do not top up or refill with
conventional antifreeze formulations. If in
doubt consult a qualified technician.
3. Refit the coolant reservoir filler cap by
rotating clockwise, until the cap's ratchet
clicks.
CHECKING THE BRAKE/CLUTCH
FLUID LEVEL
Seek qualified assistance
immediately if brake pedal travel is
unusually long or if there is any
significant loss of brake fluid. Driving
under such conditions could result in
extended stopping distances or
complete brake failure.
Brake fluid is highly toxic - keep
containers sealed and out of the reach
of children. If accidental consumption
of fluid is suspected, seek medical
attention immediately.
If the fluid comes into contact with the
skin or eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water.
Brake fluid is highly inflammable. Do
not allow brake fluid to come into
contact with naked flames or other
sources of ignition (e.g. a hot engine).
Do not drive the vehicle with the fluid
level below the MIN mark.
If the quantity of fluid in the brake reservoir
drops below the recommended level, a red
warning lamp in the Instrument panel will
illuminate. See 43, BRAKE (RED).
Note: If the warning lamp illuminates while the
vehicle is being driven, stop the vehicle as soon
as safety permits by gently applying the brakes.
Check and top up the fluid level if necessary.
With the vehicle on level ground, check the
fluid level at least every week (more frequently
in high mileage or arduous operating
conditions).
