The following values indicate the various
total cooling system capacities.
Co rrosion in hibitorand antifreeze
concentration for antifreeze protection down to –45 °C (55%)
The coolant is a mixture of water, corro-
sion inhibitor and antifreeze. It performs
the following functions in the coo
ling sys-
tem:
! Anti-corrosion protection
! Antifreeze protection
! Raising the boiling point !
Always use a suitable coolan t–even in
co untri eswith high temperature s.
If you do not do so, the cooling system will not be
suffici ently protected from corrosion, and the
boiling point wil lbe too low. If antifreeze
/corrosion inhibitor is present
in the correct concentration, the boiling
point of the coolant will be around 130 °C. Coolant

Special child seats are available for ve-
hicles with automatic child seat recog-
nition on the front-passenger seat. If

ped alis depressed beyond the pres-
sure point. This increases the rate of
vehicle acceleration. Knock
resistance
Resistance of petrol against uncon-
trolled self-ignition of th egas-air mix-
ture in the cylinder head (knocking).
