ENGINE COOLANT SYSTEM
(fig.s 1, 2)
IMPORTANT The cooling system is
pressurised. If the plug must be re-
placed, replace it only with a genuine
spare part or system efficiency may be
impaired.
The coolant level must be checked
while the engine is cold and must be
between the MIN and MAX marks on
the reservoir.
Do not take the cap of the
reservoir off when the en-
gine is very hot as you run
the risk of scalding yourself.
If there is not enough coolant, pour
a 50% mixture of distilled water and
FL Group PARAFLU
11
liquid slowly
through the filler hole 5 in the reser-
voir, until the level is near the MAX
mark.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
11
and distilled water gives freeze pro-
tection to –35 °C.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WASHER LIQUID (fig.s 1, 2)
To add liquid, remove cap 4 then
pour in the liquid until the reservoir
is completely full.
Use a mixture of water and DP1 liq-
uid in these percentages:
30% DP1 and 70% water in sum-
mer.
50% DP1 and 50% water in winter.
If the temperature falls below –20°C,
use DP1 undiluted.
IMPORTANT Do not travel with
the windscreen washer bottle empty:
using the windscreen washer is fun-
damental for improving visibility.
Some commercial addi-
tives for windscreen
washer fluids are flamma-
ble. The engine compartment con-
tains hot parts which could ignite
the fluid if it comes into contact
with them.
