Cooling system The water pump in the engine ensures a forced circulation of the cooling liquid. When the engine is cold, the cooling liquid only circulates in the cylinders and cylinder heads. The thermostat will open when the engine reaches approx. 75°C (167°F) and the cooling liquid will also be pumped through the aluminum radiator [1] . Coolin[...]

A mixture of 50% antifreeze and 50% distilled water is used as the cooling liquid. How- ever , the anti-freeze protection must be at least -25° C (-13° F). Aside from antifreezing pro- tection, this mixture also provides great corrosion protection which is why it must not be replaced by pure water . – FOR THE COOLING SYSTEM, USE ONL Y HIGH-GRAD[...]

Checking the cooling liquid level in the radiator * For better access to the radiator cap [1] , remove the screws [2] and take off the tank trim. Hold the radiator cap with a cloth, carefully turn in a counterclockwise direction and remove. The radiator should be completely filled with cooling liquid; no air should be in the radiator .
