WARNING   WARNING:  Do not add coolant when the vehicle is on or the cooling system is hot. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury.
WARNING   WARNING:  Do not remove the coolant reservoir cap when the engine is on or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10 minutes for the cooling system to cool down. Cover the coolant reservoir cap with a thick cloth to prevent the possibility of scalding and slowly remove the cap. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury.
WARNING   WARNING:  Do not allow the fluid to touch your skin or eyes. If this happens, rinse the affected areas immediately with plenty of water and contact your physician.
WARNING   WARNING:  Do not put coolant in the windshield washer reservoir. If sprayed on the windshield, coolant could make it difficult to see through the windshield.
WARNING   WARNING:  Do not add coolant further than the MAX mark.

Note:   Do not use stop leak pellets, cooling system sealants, or non-specified additives as they can cause damage to the engine cooling or heating systems.Resulting component damage may not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.
Note:   Automotive fluids are not interchangeable.
It is very important to use prediluted coolant approved to the correct specification in order to avoid plugging the small passageways in the engine cooling system.   See   Capacities and Specifications.  Do not mix different colors or types of coolant in your vehicle. Mixing of engine coolants or using an incorrect coolant may harm the engine or cooling system components and may not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.
Note:   If prediluted coolant is not available, use the approved concentrated coolant diluting it to 50/50 with deionised or distilled water.   See   Capacities and Specifications.  Using water that has not been deionised may contribute to deposit formation, corrosion and plugging of the small cooling system passageways.
Note:   Coolants marketed for all makes and models may not be approved to our specifications and may cause damage to the cooling system.Resulting component damage may not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.
If the coolant level is at or below the minimum mark, add prediluted coolant immediately.
To top up the coolant level do the following:
  1. Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure escapes as you unscrew the cap.
  1. Add prediluted coolant approved to the correct specification.   See   Capacities and Specifications. 
  1. Add enough prediluted coolant to reach the correct level.
  1. Replace the coolant reservoir cap. Turn the cap clockwise until it contacts the hard stop.
  1. Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir the next few times you drive your vehicle. If necessary, add enough prediluted engine coolant to bring the coolant level to the correct level.
If you have to add more than 1.1 qt (1 L) of engine coolant per month, have your vehicle checked as soon as possible. Operating an engine with a low level of coolant can result in engine overheating and possible engine damage.
In case of emergency, you can add a large amount of water without engine coolant in order to reach a vehicle service location.
Water alone, without engine coolant, can cause engine damage from corrosion, overheating or freezing.
Do not use the following as a coolant substitute:
  • Alcohol.
  • Methanol.
  • Brine.
  • Any coolant mixed with alcohol or methanol antifreeze.
Alcohol and other liquids can cause engine damage from overheating or freezing.
Do not add extra inhibitors or additives to the coolant. These can be harmful and compromise the corrosion protection of the coolant.
