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.

Engine starting
Never start the engine, or
leave it
running, when the vehicle is in an
enclosed space. Exhaust gasses are
poisonous and can cause
unconsciousness and death if inhaled.
If the engine fails to start,
do not
continue cranking as this will discharge
the battery. It may also damage the
