Range Rover Evoque: Topping up the coolant

Never remove the filler cap when the engine is hot - escaping steam or scalding water could cause serious personal injury.
Antifreeze is highly inflammable. Do not allow antifreeze to come into contact with naked flames or other sources of ignition (e.g. a hot engine) - a fire may result.
Unscrew the filler cap slowly, allowing the pressure to escape before removing completely.

When travelling in territories where the water supply contains salt, always ensure you carry a supply of fresh (rain or distilled) water. Topping up with salt water will cause serious engine damage.

Top-up to the MAX indicator mark on the side of the expansion tank. Use only a 50% mix of water and Texaco XLC antifreeze.

Note: In an emergency - and only if the approved antifreeze is unavailable - top-up the cooling system with clean water, but be aware of the resultant reduction in frost protection.

Do not top-up or refill with conventional antifreeze formulations. If in doubt consult a qualified technician.

Ensure the cap is tightened fully after top-up is completed by turning the cap until the ratchet cap clicks.
