Cooling System

Coolant Check and Top Up

DO NOT remove the reservoir cap when the
cooling system is hot - escaping steam or
water could cause serious injury.
The coolant level should be checked weekly when the
cooling system is cold and with the car resting on level
ground. If the level is lower than 'MIN' mark, open the
MAINTENANCE
expansion tank and top up the coolant. The level should
not be higher than 'MAX' mark.
Note: Prevent coolant coming into contact with the
vehicle bodywork, coolant will damage paint.
If the coolant level falls appreciably during a short period,
and a leak is suspected, arrange for MG Authorised
Repairer to examine the car.

Coolant Specification

Please use the coolant (mix of water and antifreeze) which
is recommended and certified by the manufacturer. Please
refer to 'Recommended Fluids and Capacities'.
Note: In an emergency top up the cooling system with
clean water, but be aware of the resultant reduction
in frost protection performance. DO NOT top up or
refill with other anti-freeze formulations.
Note: DO NOT top up or refill with rust inhibitor or
other coolant additives.
