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
accidentally drink it.
Always keep engine coolant out of reach
●
of children.
Ensure that the proportion of engine
●
coolant additive corresponds to the lowest
outside temperature to which the vehicle
will be exposed.
If the outside temperature is extremely
●
low, the engine coolant could freeze caus-
ing 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 dis-
posed of, with respect to the environment.
