fresh water may be used temporarily

obtained. Replace as soon as
possible from the nearest Holden
Dealer.
If the coolant requires regular
topping up, contact a Holden
Dealer.
How the engine coolant works
.
The coolant contains special
corrosion inhibitors.
.
Coolant helps the cooling
system in hot weather by
increasing the boiling point.
.
Coolant protects against freezing
down to –37°C, provided the
specified concentration is
maintained.
{
WARNING
Corrosion inhibitors and
antifreeze fluids are poisonous.
Use extreme care when handling.
If swallowed, seek medical
attention. Do not remove the
coolant reservoir cap if the engine
and radiator are still hot. Scalding
fluid and steam can be blown out
under pressure, which could
cause serious burns.
If the engine overheats or loses
coolant, see Engine Overheating on
page 10‑10.
