Ø
Radiator coolant will damage
paint.
Rinse it off quickly if spilled.

Use only soft (demineralized)
water in the coolant mixture.

cut down on the coolant's
effectiveness.
Ø
Do not add only water. Always
add a proper coolant mixture.
Ø
The engine has aluminum parts
and must be protected by an
ethylene-glycol-based coolant to
prevent corrosion and freezing.

with the coolant. This could
damage the cooling system.
