Warning
•  If the cooling system cap or the water-cooled charge air cooler reserve tank cap is removed when the engine is hot, steam and boiling water may be injected, causing severe burns or severe injury. Perform the removal of the cooling system cap and water-cooled charge air cooler reserve tank cap when the engine is cool.
•  Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool. Even then, be very careful when removing the cap. Wrap a thick cloth around it and slowly turn it counterclockwise to the first stop. Step back while the pressure escapes.
•   When you are sure all the pressure is gone, press down on the cap using the cloth, turn it, and remove it.
Caution
•  Use engine coolant at a concentration that meets the environmental conditions in which the vehicle is driven, otherwise engine damage could occur.
•  The engine has aluminum parts and must be protected by an ethylene-glycol-based coolant to prevent corrosion and freezing.
•  Do not use coolants containing Alcohol, Methanol, Borate or Silicate. These coolants could damage the cooling system.
•  Use only soft (demineralized) water in the coolant mixture. Water that contains minerals will cut down on the coolant's effectiveness.
•  Engine coolant damages paint. If engine coolant does get on a painted surface, rinse it off quickly.
Note
•  If the "FL22" mark is shown on or near the water-cooled charge air cooler reserve tank cap, use FL22 type engine coolant.

•  FL22 type engine coolant is shipped as a diluted solution. Use the solution as is when replacing coolant.
