above 60% will decrease the overheat protection
characteristics of the engine coolant and may cause engine
damage.

If available, refer to the chart on the coolant container to

ensure the coolant concentration in your vehicle will provide
adequate freeze protection at the temperatures in which you
drive in the winter months.

If you drive in extremely hot climates:
It is still necessary to maintain the coolant concentration

above 40%.

NEVER decrease the coolant concentration below 40%.

Decreased engine coolant concentrations below 40% will

decrease the corrosion/freeze protection characteristics of the
engine coolant and may cause engine damage.

If available, refer to the chart on the coolant container to

ensure the coolant concentration in your vehicle will provide
adequate protection at the temperatures in which you drive.

Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme climates should use a 50/50
mixture of engine coolant and distilled water for optimum cooling system
and engine protection.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT AUTOMOTIVE FUELS

Important safety precautions

WARNING: Do not overfill the fuel tank. The pressure in an
overfilled tank may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray and fire.

WARNING: The fuel system may be under pressure. If the fuel
filler cap is venting vapor or if you hear a hissing sound, wait

until it stops before completely removing the fuel filler cap. Otherwise,
fuel may spray out and injure you or others.
