SC170E1-E Windscreen Washers and Wip- ers The windscreen washer bottle should be filled with a solution of water and aproprietary winter screen wash addi- tive. The windscreen wipers should not be used if the blades are frozen to thewindscreen or if they are covered with snow, before this is removed. NOTE: Never allow undiluted screen washer fluid additive to spill upon the paintwork or use engine coolant anti- freeze since damage to the paintworkmay result.
ZC170D1-E Door Locks Should the door lock mechanism be- come frozen, a proprietary lock de-icershould be used. Alternatively, warming the door key may thaw the door lock. However, the key should be handledcarefully to avoid burning the fingers. Never attempt to thaw a frozen door lock using hot water, since the waterwill eventually freeze and compound the problem. NOTE: The proper temperature for using the immobiliser key is from -40°F to 176°F (-40°C to 80°C). If you heat theimmobiliser key over 176°F (80°C) to open the frozen lock, it may cause damage to the transponder in itshead.
ZC170C1-E Anti-freeze/Corrosion inhibitor The cooling system must always con- tain an Ethylene-Glycol based anti-freeze solution. The system is filled during manufacture with solution of the correct strength which should bechecked before the onset of winter and adjusted or changed as required. NOTE: The anti-freeze solution contains a corrosion inhibitor to prevent degra- dation of the aluminum castingscontained within the engine. There- fore, never, drain the system and refill with water only. In addition, anti-freeze solution must ALWAYS be used in vehicles fitted withair conditioning, to prevent the heater matrix from freezing and subsequently bursting with the refrigeration system inuse.
