According to the handbook the correct coolant should be:

‘Water/Antifreeze mixture 50/50 longlife spec with corrosion inhibitor for aluminium engines all year round’

But what if you’re far from home and don’t have a ready supply of the exact mix to hand?

The advice I’ve been given is if your warning light comes on during the warmer months and you're not able to determine which coolant is already in your engine - top up with distilled water (this will naturally dilute the volume of antifreeze.) And before winter comes flush out your system and reload with the correct mix.
