ENGINE COOLANT fig. 1-2-3
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 through
the filler neck C a mixture of 50%
demineralised water and 50% ARTECO
Havoline XLC cooling fluid until the
level reaches MAX.
A 50-50 mixture of ARTECO Havoline
XLC cooling fluid and distilled water
gives freeze protection to –35°C.
When the vehicle is used under
particularly harsh weather conditions,
we recommend using a 60-40 mixture
of ARTECO Havoline XLC cooling fluid
and demineralised water.
WARNING
Take great care when
adding coolant. Avoid
spillage on any part of the engine.
