CAUTION

Ø Radiator coolant will damage

paint.
Rinse it off quickly if spilled.

Ø Use only soft (demineralized)

water in the coolant mixture.
Water that contains minerals will
cut down on the coolant's
effectiveness.

Ø Don't add only water. Always add

a proper coolant mixture.

Ø The engine has aluminum parts

and must be protected by an
ethylene-glycol-based coolant to
prevent corrosion and freezing.

Ø DO NOT USE coolants Containing

Alcohol, methanol, Borate or
Silicate.
These coolants could damage the
cooling system.

Ø DO NOT MIX alcohol or methanol

with the coolant. This could
damage the cooling system.

Ø Don't use a solution that contains

more than 60% antifreeze.
This would reduce effectiveness.

NOTE

If the

“FL22” mark is shown on or near the

cooling system cap, use FL22 type engine
coolant. If engine coolant other than FL22
type is used, the engine coolant must be
replaced earlier than the specified replacement
interval indicated in the scheduled
maintenance (page 8-3).

If the coolant reservoir is empty or new
coolant is required frequently, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
