Chevrolet Sail Hatchback Petrol, Owner'S Manual, Page: 111 / 212

Warning
Scalding hot coolant and 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.
Caution
Coolant can be hazardous material.
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact
with coolant.
Clean your skin and nails with soap
and water after coming in contact
with coolant.
Keep coolant out of reach of
children.
Coolant can irritate the skin and can
cause illness or death if swallowed.
BRAKE FLUID
The brake fluid can absorb moisture.
Too much water in the fluid will reduce
the efficiency of the brake system.
Corrosion in the hydraulic system can
be prevented by changing the fluid in
accordance with the instructions in this
Manual.
Use only recommended brake fluid.
Keep reservoir filled to the proper level.
Do not allow the level to fall below
MIN mark or to raise beyond the MAX
mark.
A low fluid level in the brake fluid
reservoir can be either an indication of a
leak in the brake system or a normal
indication caused by usual brake
pad/lining wear. Consult your
CHEVROLET retailer to determine if
the system needs repair and add fluid
after work is done on your hydraulic
brake system if it is required.
If the brake fluid level is low, the brake
system warning light will come on.
See Warning Light for Brake System on
page 61.
Vehicle Maintenance 107
Warning
You can be burned if you spill coolant
on hot engine parts. Coolant contains
ethylene glycol and it will burn if the
engine parts are hot enough. Do not
spill coolant on a hot engine.
Caution
It is not needed to add coolant more
frequently than the recommended
interval. If you are adding coolant
often, this may be a sign that your
engine needs maintenance.
Contact your CHEVROLET retailer
for a check of the cooling system.
Caution
If an improper coolant mixture or
extra inhibitors and/or additives is
used, the engine could overheat and
be badly damaged. The repair cost
would not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Too much water in the
mixture can freeze and crack the
engine, radiator, heater core, and
other parts.
