The coolant is composed of 50% water and
50% antifreeze.
This mixture is ideal for most operating
temperatures and ensures good protection
against corrosion.
It is advisable to keep the same mixture
also in the hot season, since in this way
losses due to evaporation are reduced and
i t i s n o t n e c e s s a r y t o t o p u p v e r y
frequently.
The mineral salt deposits left in the radiator
by evaporated water are thus reduced and
the efficiency of the cooling system
remains unchanged.
If the outdoor temperature is below 0 °C,
check the cooling circuit frequently and if
