properties.
–
Only use coolant that complies with the requirements stated (see specifications on the container) and that has the relevant proper-
ties.
Antifreeze protection to at least
The mixture ratio must be adjusted to the necessary antifreeze protection. Use distilled water if the coolant needs to be diluted.
