CAUTION
Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze or any

anti-freeze. The use of an improper anti-freeze
can cause corrosion of the aluminium compo
-

8. By referring to the section on coolant, select an
appropriate concentration for safe operating
temperature within the range of 30 to 60%. Use
special tool LLC changer (MB991871) to refill the
coolant. A convenient mixture is a 50% water and
50% antifreeze solution (freezing point:
−31°C).
Recommended antifreeze: DIAQUEEN SUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT or equivalent
Quantity:
5.0 L <4G1>
7.0 L <4G6>
NOTE: For how to use special tool MB991871,
refer to its manufacturer’s instructions.
9. Reinstall the radiator cap.
10.Start the engine and let it warm up until the thermostat opens.
11.After repeatedly revving the engine up to 3,000 r/min several times, then stop the engine.
12.Remove the radiator cap after the engine has become cold, and pour in coolant up to the brim.
Reinstall the cap.
CAUTION
Do not overfill the radiator condenser tank.
13.Add coolant to the radiator condenser tank between the "F" and "L" mark if necessary.
CONCENTRATION MEASUREMENT
M1141001100352
Measure the temperature and specific gravity of the
engine coolant to check the antifreeze concentration.
Standard value: 30 − 60% (allowable concentra-
tion range)
Recommended antifreeze: DIAQUEEN SUPER
LONG LIFE COOLANT or equivalent
CAUTION
If the concentration of the anti-freeze is below
30%, the anti-corrosion property will be
adversely affected. In addition, if the concentra
-
tion is above 60%, both the anti-freezing and
engine cooling properties will decrease, affecting
the engine adversely. For these reasons, be sure
to maintain the concentration level within the
specified range.

STARTING SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATIONM1162000100202
If the ignition switch is turned to the "START" posi-
tion, current flows in the pull-in and holding coils pro-
vided inside magnetic switch, attracting the plunger,
When the plunger is attracted, the lever connected to
the plunger is actuated to engage the starter clutch.
On the other hand, attracting the plunger will turn on
the magnetic switch, allowing the "B" terminal and
"M" terminal to conduct. Thus, current flows to
engage the starter motor.
When the ignition switch is returned to the "ON" posi-
tion after starting the engine, the starter clutch is dis-
engaged from the ring gear.
An overrunning clutch is provided between the pinion
and the armature shaft, to prevent damage to the
starter.
