Service and Maintenance
3.
Fill the coolant reservoir with an appro-
priate amount of coolant until it reaches
between F and L lines on the reservoir.
You may be burnt if the coolant
is spilled on the components of
the hot engine. The coolant contains
ethylene glycol, which may catch fire
if the components of the engine are
hot. Therefore, do not allow the coolant to
spill on the hot engine.
Do not mix coolant of different
brands or specifications. Various
types of chemical components, such as
anti-corrosion and anti-rust agents, are
added to coolant of different brands. Mixing
them into each other can easily lead to
chemical reactions and cause harms such
as sediment, scaling and corrosion, which
may affect the life of the engine.
4.
With the coolant reservoir open, start
the engine and allow it to run until the
upper radiator hose becomes hot. Be
careful of the engine cooling fan. At this
time, the coolant level in the reservoir
may fall. If the level falls, refill the reser-
voir with an appropriate amount of cool-
ant until it reaches between F and L
lines on the coolant reservoir.
5.
Reinstall the cap. Make sure that the
pressure cap is tightened in place by
hand.
If the pressure cap is not tightened,
this may cause coolant loss and dam-
age the engine. Be sure to tighten the pres-
sure cap correctly.
If the coolant level decreases significantly
within a short time, there may be a leakage
in the cooling system. Have your vehicle
repaired by the Geely Service Station
immediately.

During a daily maintenance, you can fill the
coolant without opening the radiator cap.
Open the radiator cap only when coolant
replace is required or the coolant is seri-
ously insufficient, in order to fill the radiator
with coolant.
If you want to check the coolant level in the
radiator, perform the check when the
engine is cold.
