Substitution coolant

To make up for the small loss of coolant can use plain water. Bezizvestkovaya, rainwater, distilled water is not suitable for the cooling system, because it can cause corrosion.

When traveling significantly reduce the level of the liquid in the cooling system, you can not pour into a hot engine is cold water, because it can warp the cylinder head. A small amount of water can be topped up and the engine is warm. Replacing the coolant is conducted in the following order:

- If the engine is hot, to top up the coolant slowly unscrew the cap to let off steam. Coolant temperature in any case should not exceed 90 ?� C. When opening first turn the plug on one turn, wait until the pressure leveled and only then opened further;

- Unscrew fasteners and remove the protection of the radiator under the engine;

- Drain the coolant from the lower side of the radiator in the outstretched capacity. If merged alleged anti-freeze for later use, use a suitable container;

- To prevent the formation of air pockets when filling the system, it is necessary to consider the following simple guidelines:

1) regardless of whether the air conditioner is installed on the vehicle or not, set both the regulator heater to full hot, with established automatic climate control press DEF;

2) pre-prepared antifreeze (see. Sect. 4.1.2), pour into the radiator until it reaches the level of the lower edge of the filler neck. To determine the level of convenience, you can use the "carrying the". Filler plug is not wrapped;

3) Let the engine and warm it up to operating temperature, ie, before the opening of the thermostat. Filler plug wrap, when the temperature reaches 60-70 ?� C;

- Check the coolant level.
