o Engine coolant can damage the finish of your car. If you spill engine coolant on the car, wash it off thoroughly with clean water.
o The engine in your vehicle has aluminum engine parts and must be protected by an ethylene-gly-col base coolant to prevent corro- sion and freezing. And, do not use the hard (tap) water. The hard water can cause engine damage from corrosion, overheating or freezing.
1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning
it counterclockwise.
