Anti-freeze/Corrosion inhibitor
The cooling system must always con-
tain an Ethylene-Glycol based anti-
freeze solution. The system is filled
during manufacture with solution of the
correct strength which should be
checked before the onset of winter and
adjusted or changed as required.
NOTE:
The anti-freeze solution contains a
corrosion inhibitor to prevent degra-
dation of the aluminium castings
contained within the engine. There-
fore, never, drain the system and
refill with water only.
In addition, anti-freeze solution must
ALWAYS be used in vehicles fitted with
air conditioning, to prevent the heater
matrix from freezing and subsequently
bursting with the refrigeration system in
use.
WINTER MOTORING
DC170A1-E
The onset of winter conditions subject
motor vehicles to greater operating de-
mands. Therefore, the following sug-
gestions will assist in maintaining peak
performance and reliability during these
periods:
ZC170B1-E
Electrical System
Winter conditions impose severe de-
mands upon vehicle electrical systems,
particularly the charging circuit. The
battery condition and performance along
with the alternator performance and
drive belt condition should be checked
prior to the onset of winter.
ZC170D1-E
Door Locks
Should the door lock mechanism be-
come frozen, a proprietary lock de-icer
should be used. Alternatively, warming
the door key may thaw the door lock.
However, the key should be handled
carefully to avoid burning the fingers.
Never attempt to thaw a frozen door
lock using hot water, since the water
will eventually freeze and compound
the problem.
NOTE:
The proper temperature for using the
immobiliser key is from -40°C to
80°C (-40°F to 176°F). If you heat the
immobiliser key over 80°C (176°F) to
open the frozen lock, it may cause
damage to the transponder in its
head.
