WARNING
Engine coolant is poisonous!
Always keep the coolant in its original container stored in a
safe place.
To reduce the risk of poisoning, never store engine coolant in
empty food or beverage containers or in any other containers
that might mislead someone into drinking from them.
Always keep engine coolant out of reach of children.
Always make sure there is enough of the correct coolant ad-
ditive to provide proper antifreeze protection at the coldest
temperatures that can be expected where the vehicle will be
used.
At extremely cold temperatures, the coolant could freeze,
causing the vehicle to break down. The heater would also not
work, and vehicle occupants could be without protection at
subfreezing temperatures.
Coolant and coolant additives can pollute the environment. Col-
lect leaking operating fluids and dispose of them properly in accord-
ance with applicable environmental laws and regulations.
