Cold Weather Operation
Cold Weather Operation Information
If the temperature becomes low, it becomes difficult to start the engine, and the coolant may
freeze, so do as follows:
Fuel and Lubricants
Change to fuel and oil with low viscosity for all components. For details of the specified viscosity,
see “Please use the Recommended Fuel, Oil and Coolant and Water for Dilution”.
Cooling System Coolant
Antifreeze is toxic. Be careful not to get it into your eyes or on your skin. If it should get into
your eyes or on your skin, wash it off with large amounts of fresh water and see a doctor at
once.
When changing the coolant or when handling coolant containing antifreeze that has been
drained when repairing the radiator, please contact your CFG distributor or request a
specialist company to carry out the operation. Antifreeze is toxic. Do not let it flow into
drainage ditches or spray it onto the ground surface.
Antifreeze is flammable. Do not bring any flame close. Do not smoke when handling
antifreeze.
NOTICE
Use CFG coolant wherever available
Never use methanol, ethanol, or propanol-based antifreeze.
Do not use any water leakage prevention agent, either alone, or in combination with
antifreeze.
Do not mix one brand of antifreeze with a different brand.
When using CFG coolant, there is no need to use a corrosion resistor.
For details of the antifreeze mixture when changing the coolant, see “Clean inside of Cooling
System – Clean/Replace”.
