Range Rover Evoque: Coolant antifreeze
Antifreeze is poisonous and
can be
fatal if swallowed - keep containers
sealed and out of the reach of
children. If accidental consumption is
suspected, seek medical attention
immediately.
If the fluid comes into contact with the
skin or eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water.
The use of non-approved
antifreeze will
have an adverse effect on the engine
cooling system and therefore engine
durability.
Antifreeze will damage painted
surfaces; soak up any spillage with an
absorbent cloth immediately and wash
the area with a mixture of car shampoo
and water.
Antifreeze contains important corrosion inhibitors. The antifreeze content of the coolant must be maintained at 50% ± 5% all year round (not just in cold conditions). To ensure that the anti-corrosion properties of the coolant are retained, the antifreeze content should be checked once a year and completely renewed every ten years, regardless of distance travelled. Failure to do so may cause corrosion of the radiator and engine components.
The specific gravity of a 50% antifreeze solution at 20°C (68°F) is 1.068 and protects against frost down to -40°C (-40°F).

Check and top-up the reservoir level at least
every week. Always top-up with screen washer
