# Coolant Specification
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This vehicle has been filled with compliant coolant from the factory (G12evo). This coolant is lavender in colour. This coolant prevents corrosion of the alloy parts of the cooling system and the formation of scale in the system and increases the boiling point of the coolant. If the vehicle is to be used in severe cold seasons and regions, it is necessary to increase the antifreeze capacity of the coolant, so the corresponding type of original coolant should be selected according to the current minimum ambient temperature of the region where the vehicle is to be used.

# WARNING
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Coolant can freeze at extremely cold outside temperatures, causing the vehicle to break down. This can lead to the heating no longer working in the vehicle. Vehicle occupants with inadequate winter clothing could be subject to extreme low temperature.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The appropriate coolant should be selected according to the current minimum ambient temperature of the area where the vehicle is used, and it is recommended that a suitably qualified authorised workshop be consulted. Volkswagen recommends contact with an ID. UNYX Service Center.

# NOTICE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The colour of the coolant results from mixing the purple coolant additive with distilled water. If the liquid in the coolant expansion tank is not violet but brown, for example, the suitable coolant has been mixed with another unsuitable coolant. This can result in serious malfunctions or damage to the electric drive and cooling system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use only coolant additives that have been approved by the manufacturer. Have the coolant replaced immediately by a suitably qualified workshop if it changes to another colour. Volkswagen recommends contact with an ID. UNYX Service Center. When adding coolant additives, never mix genuine coolant with other coolant that have not been approved by Volkswagen.

|
Coolant and coolant additives can pollute the environment.
