(Y page 473).
The coolant is amixture of water and anti-
freeze/corrosio ninhibitor. It is responsible
for the following:
R anti-corrosion protection
R antifreeze protection
R raising the boiling point
If antifreeze/corrosio ninhibitor is present in
the correct concentration, the boiling point of
the coolant during operation will be approx-
imately 130 †.
The antifreeze/corrosio ninhibitor concentra-
tion in the engine cooling system should:
R be at least 50% .Thisw illp rotect the engine
cooling system against freezing dow nto
