EWA13040
• If coolant splashes in your eyes, thorough-
ly wash them with water and consult a doc-
tor.
• If coolant splashes on your clothes, quickly
wash it away with water and then with soap
and water.
• If coolant is swallowed, induce vomiting
and get immediate medical attention.
ECA21291
• Adding water instead of coolant dilutes the
antifreeze concentration of the coolant. If
water is used instead of coolant; check,
and if necessary, correct the antifreeze
concentration of the coolant.
• Use only distilled water. However, if dis-
tilled water is not available, soft water may
be used.
• If coolant comes into contact with painted
surfaces, immediately wash them with wa-
ter.
• Do not mix different types of antifreeze.
