SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
The engine coolant must be changed according to the Maintenance Schedule.
WARNING
• Check, replenish or change the engine coolant only after the engine has
sufficiently cooled down.
• Do not loosen or remove the sub-tank cap when the engine coolant is still hot.
Hot vapor or boiling water may burst out and cause a burn. Cover the cap with a
cloth, etc. and remove it gradually after the engine is fully cooled down and the
temperature of the engine coolant becomes low.
• When removing the sub-tank cap, use a thick cloth to cover the cap and turn it
slowly.
• Engine coolant is toxic and must not be ingested. If the engine coolant is
mistakenly ingested, immediately vomit it and seek prompt medical attention.
• If the engine coolant gets in your eyes, rinse it off immediately with a large
amount of water for 15 minutes or longer. Also, if still abnormality such as
irritation is felt, seek medical attention.
• If the engine coolant gets on your skin, rinse it off using a soap with a large
amount of water. Also, if abnormality is seen, seek medical attention.
• Engine coolant is flammable, and therefore, it must be kept away from flames
and other heat sources. Engine coolant also could ignite if it comes in contact
with a hot surface, such as the exhaust manifold. Exercise caution to prevent
this from happening.
• For storage, apply an airtight stopper and keep out of reach of children.
ADVICE
• Replace the engine coolant periodically.
If the engine coolant is not replaced periodically, rust is generated due to
degradation of the engine coolant, which may cause a failure such as water
leakage or clogging of the radiator or heater core.
