Engine coolant
Introduction
WARNING
Engine coolant is toxic!
Only keep engine coolant in its original
●
container, tightly shut and in a safe place.
●
Never store engine coolant in empty food
containers or bottles as other people may ac-
cidentally drink it.
●
Always keep engine coolant out of reach of
children.
●
Ensure that the proportion of engine cool-
ant additive corresponds to the lowest out-
side temperature to which the vehicle will be
exposed.
If the outside temperature is extremely low,
●
the engine coolant could freeze causing the
vehicle to stop. As this would also cause the
heating to stop working, vehicle occupants
without warm clothing could freeze.
For the sake of the environment
Coolants and additives can contaminate the
environment. If any fluids are spilled, they
should be collected and correctly disposed
of, with respect to the environment.
