WARNING

Never remove the filler cap when the engine is hot - escaping steam or scalding water could cause serious personal injury.

Avoid spilling antifreeze onto a hot engine - a fire may result.

Unscrew the filler cap slowly, allowing the pressure to escape before removing completely.

Antifreeze is poisonous and can be fatal if swallowed - keep containers sealed and out of the reach of children. If accidental consumption is suspected, seek medical attention immediately.

If the fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water.

NOTICE

When traveling in territories where the water supply contains salt, always ensure you carry a supply of fresh (rain or distilled) water. Topping up with salt water will cause serious engine damage.

The use of non-approved antifreeze will have an adverse effect on the engine cooling system and therefore engine durability.

Antifreeze will damage painted surfaces; soak up any spillage with an absorbent cloth immediately and wash the area with a mixture of car shampoo and water.

Top-up to the upper level indicator mark of the COLD FILL RANGE located on the side of the expansion tank. Use only a 50% mix of water and Castrol SF antifreeze.

The specific gravity of a 50% antifreeze solution at 68 °F (20 °C) is 1.068 and protects against frost down to -40 °F (-40 °C).

Antifreeze contains important corrosion inhibitors. The antifreeze content of the coolant must be maintained at 50% ± 5% all year round (not just in cold conditions). To ensure that the anti-corrosion properties of the coolant are retained, the antifreeze content should be checked once a year and completely renewed every ten years, regardless of distance travelled. Failure to do so may cause corrosion of the radiator and engine components.

Note: In an emergency - and only if the approved antifreeze is unavailable - top-up the cooling system with clean water, but be aware of the resultant reduction in frost protection. Do not top-up or refill with conventional antifreeze formulations. If in doubt consult a qualified technician.

Ensure the cap is tightened fully after top-up is completed by turning the cap until the ratchet cap clicks.
