Radiator
Never fill a hot radiator with cold coolant if a considerable quantity has been lost. After any operation
on the vehicle which has involved even partial draining of the cooling system, it must be refilled with a
new mixture prepared in the correct proportions. Reminder: only products approved by our Technical
Department may be used for this purpose.
