Maintenance and Care
if the level in the coolant recovery
bottle does not drop when the
engine cools, the cooling system
should be tested by a Service
Network centre.
• Keep the front of the radiator and
the condenser clean.
WARNING!
•
Never add engine coolant
(antifreeze) when the engine is hot.
Do not loosen or remove the cap of
the engine coolant bottle to cool a
hot engine. Heat causes pressure to
build up in the cooling system. To
prevent scalding or injury, do not
remove the pressure cap while the
system is hot or under pressure.
•
When adding coolant do not use
a pressure cap other than the one
specified for your vehicle. Personal
injury or engine damage may result.
Engine Coolant Level Check - Diesel

Engine
Your vehicle has been equipped
with an improved engine coolant
(antifreeze) that offers high protection
against corrosion, freezing and allows
extended maintenance intervals.
To prevent reducing extended
maintenance periods, it is important
to use original engine coolant
384
(antifreeze) when adding coolant
throughout the life of your vehicle.
When adding engine coolant
(antifreeze) use pure water only, such
as distilled or deionized water when
mixing the water/engine coolant
(antifreeze) solution. The use of
impure water will reduce the amount
of corrosion protection in the engine
cooling system.
• Mix a minimum solution of 50%
engine coolant (antifreeze)
and distilled water. Use higher
concentrations (do not exceed 70%)
if temperatures below −37°C (−35°F)
are forecasted.
Please note that it is the owner's
responsibility to maintain the proper
level of protection against freezing
according to the temperatures
occurring in the circulation area of the
vehicle.
The coolant bottle provides a quick
visual method to determine that the
coolant level is adequate. As long as
the engine operating temperature is
satisfactory, the coolant bottle only
needs to be checked once a month.
With the engine off and cold, the level
of the coolant in the bottle on the
right side of the engine comportment
should be between the ranges
indicated on the bottle and inside the
filler neck.

• When additional engine coolant
(antifreeze) is needed to maintain
the proper level, it should be added
to the coolant bottle after removing
the cap. Do not overfill.
• Once the desired level is reached,
reassemble and firmly close cap of
the bottle.
