WARNING
ENGINE COOLANT fig. 216
The coolant level must be checked when the engine is
cold and must be between the MIN and MAX lines on the
vessel.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture of 50% deminer-
alised water and 50% PARAFLU
BRICANTS through the filler neck A until the level reach-
es MAX.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
water gives freeze protection to −35 °C.
When the vehicle is used under particularly harsh weath-
er conditions, we recommend using a 60-40 mixture of
PARAFLU UP and demineralised water.
