Antifreeze
When the vehicle is manufactured, the cooling system is filled with a mixture of 50% ethylene glycol (antifreeze) and 50% water.
Since the cylinder head and water pump housing are cast aluminum alloy, try to use coolant with 30-60% ethylene glycol to provide corrosion protection and prevent freezing.
Warning: If the concentration of antifreeze is below 30%, it will have a negative effect on the anti-corrosion properties. In addition, if the concentration is higher than 60%, both the antifreeze performance and the cooling efficiency of the engine will deteriorate. It is necessary to maintain the concentration within the specified range.
Concentration measurement
Start the engine and wait until the coolant is completely mixed. Drain some coolant and measure its temperature and specific gravity and determine the concentration. If there is not enough antifreeze in the coolant, it should be added to a concentration level of 50%.
Coolant replacement
1. Set the temperature control to high temperature.
2. Remove the radiator cap.
Warning: The plug must be removed slowly as the system is pressurized and the coolant may be hot.
3. Unscrew the drain plug and drain the coolant.
4. Drain the coolant from the reserve tank.
5. After draining the coolant, screw in the drain plug securely.
6. Pour coolant into the radiator until it is filled up to the filler hole.
7. Pour coolant into the reserve tank.
8. Warm up the engine until the thermostat opens, remove the radiator cap and check the coolant level.
9. Pour coolant into the radiator until it is filled to the filler neck, then carefully tighten the radiator cap.
10. Fill the reserve tank with coolant up to the line «FILL».
