WARNING
• Check, replenish or change the intercooler coolant only after the engine has
sufficiently cooled down.
• Do not loosen or remove the cap of the radiator, sub-tank or reserve tank when
the intercooler coolant is still hot. Hot vapor or boiling water may burst out and
cause a burn. Cover the cap with a cloth, etc. and remove it gradually after
the engine is fully cooled down and the temperature of the intercooler coolant
becomes low.
• When removing the radiator, sub-tank or reserve tank cap, use a thick cloth to
cover the cap and turn it slowly.
• Intercooler coolant is toxic and must not be ingested. If the intercooler coolant is
mistakenly ingested, immediately vomit it and seek prompt medical attention.
• If the intercooler coolant gets in your eyes, rinse it off immediately with a large
amount of water for 15 minutes or longer. Also, if still abnormality such as
irritation is felt, seek medical attention.
• If the intercooler coolant gets on your skin, rinse it off using a soap with a large
amount of water. Also, if abnormality is seen, seek medical attention.
• Intercooler coolant is flammable, and therefore, it must be kept away from
flames and other heat sources. Intercooler coolant also could ignite if it comes
in contact with a hot surface, such as the exhaust manifold. Exercise caution to
prevent this from happening.
