Decreased engine coolant concentrations

below 40% will decrease the corrosion
protection characteristics of the engine
coolant and may cause engine damage.

Decreased engine coolant concentrations

below 40% will decrease the freeze
protection characteristics of the engine
coolant and may cause engine damage.

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

Do not overfill the fuel tank. The pressure in
an overfilled tank may cause leakage and

lead to fuel spray and fire.

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.

If you do not use the proper fuel filler cap,
excessive pressure or vacuum in the fuel

tank may damage the fuel system or cause the fuel
cap to disengage in a collision, which may result in
possible personal injury.
