Diesel fuel filter On the event of engine oil change, have
fuel filter checked for possible water
residue by a workshop.
Illumination of A indicates water in the
fuel filter 3.
Have fuel filter checked at shorter intervals
if the vehicle is subjected to extreme
operating conditions such as high humidity
(primarily in coastal areas), extremely high
or low outside temperatures and
substantially varying daytime and
night-time temperatures.
Coolant The coolant provides anti-freeze
protection down to approx. -28 C. .
Picture no: 11676s.tif
Antifreeze and corrosion protection
Have the concentration of the radiator
contents tested by a workshop before
winter starts. The amount of antifreeze
must provide protection down to approx.
-28 C. A lower antifreeze concentration
will reduce the amount of protection from
frost and corrosion. Add antifreeze if
necessary.
If coolant loss is topped up with water,
have concentration checked and add
antifreeze if necessary. Caution
Only use approved anti-freeze.
Coolant additives for additional
corrosion protection and sealing small
leaks can cause operation problems. No
liability is accepted for damage caused
by using coolant additives.
9 Warning
Antifreeze is a danger to health; it must
therefore be kept in the original
container and out of the reach of
children.
