COOLANT
In certain conditions, the ethylene glycol
c o n t a i n e d i n t h e e n g i n e c o o l a n t i s
flammable; its flame is invisible, but burns
may occur in any case.
Avoid spilling the engine coolant on the
e x h a u s t s y s t e m o r o n e n g i n e
components.
They may be hot enough to cause the
coolant to ignite and burn without a
visible flame.
The coolant (ethylene glycol) can cause
skin irritation and is poisonous if
swallowed.
Coolant and coolant/water mixtures are
sweet to the taste and brightly colored,
therefore highly attractive to pets and
children. Take extra precautions to keep
new and used coolant out of reach of
children and animals.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Risk of burn.
Do not remove the radiator cap when
the engine is hot. Wait until the engine
has completely cooled down. The
