Composition of the mixture coolant

The content of the antifreeze coolant should not exceed 60%, which corresponds to protection from freezing to -40 ?� C, since otherwise the protective and cooling properties of the coolant will decrease.

A warning

Do not use previously used a mixture of anti-freeze and anti-corrosion agents G11, which has a green color. It does not mix anti-corrosion agent G11 and G12, as this can lead to serious engine damage.

If the cooling system has been filled with coolant is not recommended by the manufacturer, drain the cooling system. Fill the cooling system with clean water and turn on the engine at idle speed for 2 minutes. Drain the water from the cooling system through the surge tank and blow the engine cooling system using compressed air. Fill with fresh coolant recommended by the manufacturer.
