This kind of coolant in the right mixing ratio
can provide excellent anti-corrosion and
anti-freezing performance for the cooling
and heating systems.
When the engine is in a cold state, the
coolant level should be between MIN
(minimum) and MAX (maximum) marked on
the coolant tank. The coolant level rises as
the engine temperature rises and drops as
the engine cools.
If the coolant level is lower than the MIN
(minimum) mark, see your dealer for coolant
filling or replacement.
Ordinary water or coolant in the wrong
mixing ratio will cause damage to the
cooling system.
Do not use ordinary water, alcohol,
or methanol in the vehicle to prevent
freezing.
{
Warning
Scalding hot coolant steam could be
blown out under pressure, which could
cause serious injury.
Never remove the coolant reservoir cap
when the engine and radiator are hot.
{
Warning
Engine coolant is a dangerous substance.
.
Avoid repeated or prolonged exposure
to coolant.
.
In case of contact with coolant, wash
skin and fingernails with soap and
water.
.
Keep it out of reach of children.
.
Coolant is irritating to the skin and
can cause illness or death if
swallowed.
Washer Fluid
Before driving, be sure that the fluid
reservoir contains sufficient specified washer
solvent.
In cold weather, the windshield washer
solvent container should not be overfilled.
Washer solvent will swell under low
temperature due to freezing. An overfilled
container has no space for expansion,
resulting in damage.
See your dealer for filling of the correct
washer solvent.
Caution
.
Do not use washer fluid that contains
any type of water repellent coating.
This can cause the wiper blades to
chatter or skip.
.
Do not use engine coolant (antifreeze)
in the windshield washer. It can
damage the windshield washer system
and paint.
.
Do not mix water with ready-to-use
washer fluid. Water can cause the
solution to freeze and damage the
washer fluid tank and other parts of
the washer system.
