(primarily in coastal areas), extrem ely high
or low outside temperatures a nd
sub stantially v arying day tim e a nd nig ht-
time temp eratures.
Coo lant
During operation the system is pressurised.
The temp erature ma y therefore rise briefly
to ov er 100 °C.
The glycol-ba sed coolant provides
exc ellent corrosion protection for the
heating and cooling systems as well as
antifreeze protection down to ap prox .
–28 ° C. I t rema ins in the cooling system
throughout the year and need not b e
cha ng ed.
Use of certain a ntifreezes c an lead to
engine dam age. We therefore rec om mend
that you use antifreez es that have been

Warning
Antifreeze is a d ang er to health; it must
therefore be k ept in the original conta iner
and out of the reach of children.
Anti freeze a nd corrosion prot ect ion
Before the sta rt of the cold weather season,
have the coolant checked for correct
concentration using a calibrated
hydrometer. We recom mend that you
consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer.
The antifreeze content must guarantee
frost protection down to approx. –28 °C . An
insufficient concentration will reduce frost
and corrosion protection. Add antifreez e if
nec essary .
If c oolant loss is topped up with wa ter,
have concentration check ed a nd add
antifreeze if necessary.
