If the radiator cap is opened while the engine is hot (over 100
℃), the pressure of the cooling system will drop down and the
coolant will get boiled rapidly.
DO NOT open the radiator cap until the coolant temperature
drops down.
z Coolant is poisonous, DO NOT drink or splash it to skin, eyes,
and clothes.
—In case the coolant gets to the skin and clothes, wash with
soap immediately.

and go to consult the doctor
—In case of swallowing the coolant, induce vomit and consult
the doctor.
z Keep the coolant in a safe place and away from reach of
children.
