G. COOLING SYSTEM
Coolant
Fill the radiator with soft, pure tap or bottled water.
Anti-rust agent
Add approximately 0.20 L (0.21 US gt) of anti-rust agent
to the new coolant when the coolant is changed.
It is not necessary to add anti-rust agent when antifreeze
is used.
Antifreeze
If the air temperature is expected to fall below 0
q
C
(32
q
F), fill the cooling system with an antifreeze and soft
water mix. As a general rule, the ratio of antifreeze
should range between 30% and 60% as shown in the
table below. If the ratio is below 30%, the system may
develop rust, and if it is above 60%, the engine may
overheat.

•
Antifreeze is poisonous; if ingested, it can
cause serious injury or death. Induce vomiting
and get emergency medical attention immedi-
ately.
•
When storing antifreeze, be sure to keep it in a
clearly marked container with a tight lid. Al-
ways keep antifreeze out of the reach of chil-
dren.
•
If antifreeze is accidentally splashed into eyes,
flush with water for 10 to 15 minutes and get
emergency medical attention.
•
When storing or disposing of antifreeze, be
