CAUTION
Radiator coolant will damage paint.
l
Rinse it off quickly if spilled.
Use only soft (demineralised) water
l
in the coolant mixture. Water that
contains minerals will cut down on
the coolant's effectiveness.
Don't add only water. Always add a
l
proper coolant mixture.
The engine has aluminium parts and
l
must be protected by an ethylene-
glycol-based coolant to prevent
corrosion and freezing.
DO NOT USE coolants Containing
l
Alcohol, methanol, Borate or
Silicate.
These coolants could damage the
cooling system.
DO NOT MIX alcohol or methanol
l
with the coolant. This could damage
the cooling system.
Don't use a solution that contains
l
more than 60% antifreeze.
This would reduce effectiveness.
