Coolant Maintenance; Anti-Freeze Proportioning Table - Suzuki Swift User Manual

COOLANT
The coolant recovery system is standard. The coolant in the radiator expands with heat, and the overflow is col-
lected in the reservoir tank.
When the system cools down, the coolant is drawn back into the radiator.
The cooling system has been filled at the factory with a quality coolant that is either 50/50 mixture of water and
GOLDEN CRUISER 1200 (ethylene glycol antifreeze.) or 30/70 mixture of water and GOLDEN CRUISER 1200.
The 50/50 mixture coolant solution provides freezing protection to –36_C (–33_F), the 30/70 mixture coolant solu-
tion provides freezing protection to –16_C (3_F).
When changing the engine coolant, use mixture of 50% water and 50% GOLDEN CRUISER 1200 for the market
where ambient temperature falls lower than –16_C (3_F) in winter and mixture of 70% water and 30% GOLDEN
CRUISER 1200 for the market where ambient temperature doesn't fall lower than –16_C (3_F).
NOTE:
D Alcohol or methanol base coolant or plain water alone should not be used in cooling system at any time
as damage to cooling system could occur.
D Even in a market where no freezing temperature is anticipated, mixture of 70% water and 30% ethylene
glycol antifreeze (Antifreeze/Anticorrosion coolant) should be used for the purpose of corrosion protec-
tion and lubrication.
