MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
IMPORTANT
Harmful if ingested. May cause organ
•
(kidney) damage.
Use ready-mixed coolant as recom-
•
mended by Volvo. If concentrated liquid is
used, make sure that the ratio is 50 %
coolant to 50 % water of an approved
quality.
Do not mix different coolants.
•
Only new coolant should be used when
•
replacing major cooling system compo-
nents to ensure the system has sufficient
corrosion protection.
The engine must only be run with a well-
•
filled cooling system. Otherwise, tempera-
tures that are too high may occur result-
ing in the risk of damage (cracks) in the
cylinder head.
A high content of chlorine, chlorides and
•
other salts may cause corrosion in the
cooling system.
