When operating the vehicle in cold places, be sure
to install radiator curtain to protect the engine from
freezing. Overcooled engine not only accelerates
wear of its vital parts but also reduces fuel
economy.When the radiator curtain is used, watch
the tem- perature gauge frequently to prevent
engine over- heating.
To prevent freezing and corrosion of the engine
when operating the vehicle in extremely cold places,
be sure to add a specified amount of antifreeze to
coolant. It is strongly recommended to use Daewoo-
approved antifreeze.
Fill up the coolant circulation system with a 50/
*
50 mixture of specified antifreeze and water in
all seasons.
(1) Wash off the inside of the cooling system in-
cluding the radiator before using anti-freeze.
(2) Replace any damaged rubber hoses. If there is
just a hair crack on these hoses, antifreeze is
liable to leak.
(3) Antifreeze should be handled with extreme care
as it can cause damage to coated surfaces of
peripheral components.
Engine oil tends to harden when the ambient
temperature falls in cold weather. Use the specified
engine oil having proper viscosity.
Battery condition tends to get worse with drop in
ambient temperature. In extremely cold weather,
maintain the battery in a full charge state.
