• Coolant pollutes the environment and could cause an engine fire.

• the temperature of the engine coolant rises due to the heat build
up from the engine in the engine compartment, or
• the engine compartment heats up because the veh icle is parked in
intense sunlight.

• To reduce the risk of personal injury never touch the radiator
fan.
/1 WARNING (continued)
