coolant
The coolant absorbs excess heat from the engine and transfers it to the air
through the radiator. If the fluid level decreases, the engine overheats and
can be severely damaged.
Check the fluid level every day before driving your CORVUS. At the same
time, check for foreign matter, any unusual or strange colouring or other
contaminating fluids such as oil. To protect the aluminium parts within the
cooling system (the engine and the radiator) from oxidation and corrosion,
use chemical inhibitors in the coolant essence. If an anti-corrosive liquid is
not used, the radiator will begin to rust after a while. This would obstruct
the cooling pipes.
NOTE:
Initially, the factory uses permanent-type antifreeze. It contains
50% ethylene glycol and has a freezing point of -35 °C.
Liquid chemicals are harmful to the human body. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
The use of incorrect liquid solutions may cause damage to the
engine and the cooling system. Use coolant with a specific corrosion
inhibitor for aluminium engines and radiators in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions. If the coolant level is correct and the
vehicle continues to heat up, even if it has only been running for a
few minutes, this may be the result of bubbles in the circuit and it
will need to be purged. If the high temperature persists, contact your
nearest CORVUS service centre.
To avoid burns do not remove the radiator cap or try to change the
fluid when the engine is still hot. Wait until it cools down.
Coolant level
:
1. Place the vehicle in a completely horizontal position.
2. Unscrew the cap from the reservoir (1) in an anticlockwise direction and
wait a few seconds until the vapours disperse.
3. Check the coolant level. The liquid must not exceed the line marked
(MAX).
4. If the fluid level is low, add the required amount through the filling
aperture.
Recommended fluid: 50% Long time. (-35 °C).
If liquid falls onto the tires, it makes them more slippery and can
cause an accident. Immediately clean any liquid that may fall on the
chassis, engine or wheels.
Inspect any old liquid. If you notice white patches in the liquid, it
means that the aluminium parts of the cooling system are corroded.
If the liquid is brown it means that the steel or iron parts of the
system are oxidised. In both cases, clean the system.
Replace the gaskets with
new ones. Check for any
potential damage, leaks or
lack of gaskets in the cooling
system. In countries with
cold climates, the antifreeze
capacity should be adjusted
to its minimum temperature,
i. e. within a range of -5 °C.
