If it's at or near MIN or L, add enough
coolant to the coolant reservoir to provide
freezing and corrosion protection and to
bring the level to MAX or F.
CAUTION
l
Radiator coolant will damage paint.
Rinse it off quickly if spilled.
l
Use only soft (demineralized) water
in the coolant mixture. Water that
contains minerals will cut down on
the coolant's effectiveness.
l
Don't add only water. Always add a
proper coolant mixture.
l
The engine has aluminum parts and
must be protected by an ethylene-
glycol-based coolant to prevent
corrosion and freezing.
l
DO NOT USE coolants Containing
Alcohol, methanol, Borate or
Silicate.
These coolants could damage the
cooling system.
l
DO NOT MIX alcohol or methanol
with the coolant. This could damage
the cooling system.
l
Don't use a solution that contains
more than 60% antifreeze.
This would reduce effectiveness.
