If any splashes of coolant get into your eyes, rinse out your eyes
immediately with clear water and contact a doctor as soon as
possible.

You should also consult a doctor without delay if you have inad-
vertently swallowed coolant.

under the conditions prevailing to top up with coolant. Switch off the
