temperature and high pressure, and is retained inside the
engine radiator and the heater line. Direct contact of the
skin with the coolant may result in serious burns. Open the
cap of the radiator only after the engine has sufficiently
cooled and the pressure has dropped to a safe level.
Coolant contains toxic and combustible ethylene glycol,
and should be handled in a cool, well-ventilated place
only when wearing protective goggles, protective gloves,
protective clothing, and a gas mask.
Avoid inhaling airborne particles or spray from coolant. If
the substances make contact with skin or eyes that are
