Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance
The coolant should be at full in the
radiator and between the F or FULL and
L marks on the coolant reservoir when the
engine is cool.

If it is at or near L, add enough coolant to
the coolant reservoir to provide freezing
and corrosion protection and to bring the
level to F or FULL.
Securely tighten the coolant reservoir tank
cap after adding coolant.
CAUTION
Radiator coolant will damage paint.
Rinse it off quickly if spilled.
Use only soft (demineralised) water
in the coolant mixture. Water that
contains minerals will cut down on
the coolant's effectiveness.
Do not add only water. Always add a
proper coolant mixture.
The engine has aluminium parts and
must be protected by an ethylene-
glycol-based coolant to prevent
corrosion and freezing.
DO NOT USE coolants Containing
Alcohol, methanol, Borate or
Silicate.
These coolants could damage the
cooling system.
DO NOT MIX alcohol or methanol
with the coolant. This could damage
the cooling system.
Do not use a solution that contains
more than 60% antifreeze.
This would reduce effectiveness.
If the “FL22” mark is shown on or
near the cooling system cap, use
of FL-22 is recommended when
replacing engine coolant. Using
engine coolant other than FL-22 may
cause serious damage to the engine
and cooling system.
