Handling notes for coolant
Coolant is potentially harmful and should be
handled with special care.
If coolant splashes in your eyes, thor-
oughly wash them with water and con-
sult a doctor.
If coolant splashes on your clothes,
quickly wash it away with water and
then with soap and water.
If coolant is swallowed, induce vomit-
ing and get immediate medical atten-
tion.
Adding water instead of coolant lowers
the antifreeze content of the coolant. If
water is used instead of coolant, check,
and if necessary, correct the antifreeze
concentration of the coolant.
Use only distilled water. Soft water may
be used if distilled water is not avail-
able.
If coolant comes into contact with
painted surfaces, immediately wash
them with water.
Do not mix different types of antifreeze.
