the antifreeze content of the coolant. If
water is used instead of coolant check,
and if necessary, correct the antifreeze
concentration of the coolant.

may be used.
• If coolant comes into contact with painted
surfaces, immediately wash them with
water.
• Do not mix different types of antifreeze.
