WARNING
If coolant splashes in your eyes, thorough-
ly wash them with water and consult a doc-
tor.
If coolant splashes on your clothes, quickly
wash it away with water and then with soap
and water.
If coolant is swallowed, induce vomiting
and get immediate medical attention.
Adding water instead of coolant lowers the
antifreeze content of the coolant. If water is
used instead of coolant check, and if nec-
essary, correct the antifreeze concentra-
tion of the coolant.
Use only distilled water. However, if dis-
tilled water is not available, soft water may
be used.
If coolant comes into contact with painted
surfaces, immediately wash them with wa-
ter.
Do not mix different types of antifreeze.
