level may extend beyond the MAX mark.
Maintain coolant concentration within
48% to 50%, which equates to a freeze
point between -30°F (-34°C) and -34°F
(-37°C). Coolant concentration should be
checked using a refractometer. We do not
recommend the use of hydrometers or
coolant test strips for measuring coolant
concentration.
Under certain conditions, the engine
cooling fan may continue to run for several
minutes after you switch your vehicle off.
This could happen in low ambient
temperatures and independent of the
engine coolant temperature, for example
short journeys or low coolant temperature.

interchangeable. Do not use coolant or
windshield washer fluid outside of its
specified function and vehicle location.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
personal injury, make sure the engine is
cool before unscrewing the coolant
pressure relief cap. The cooling system
is under pressure. Steam and hot liquid
can come out forcefully when you loosen
the cap slightly.
Note: Do not use stop leak pellets, cooling
system sealants, or non-specified additives
as they can cause damage to the engine
cooling or heating systems. Resulting
component damage may not be covered by
the vehicle Warranty.
WARNING: Do not add coolant
