Warning: Do not allow antifreeze to come into contact with your skin or painted parts of the car. If antifreeze gets on your skin, immediately wash the area with water. Keep antifreeze in a closed container and out of the reach of children. Toxic. Fire hazard.
Antifreeze is a mixture of water and ethylene glycol, which must be in a liquid state at least to -30 degrees Celsius or lower, depending on the climate. Special additives ensure the necessary boiling point.
Replace antifreeze at the intervals recommended in Chapter 1. Antifreeze that has been in use for a long time can cause deposits and slags to accumulate in the cooling system. Use distilled water to prepare a fresh solution.
Before adding fresh antifreeze, make sure the hose connections are secure. Antifreeze is usually prepared in a 1:1 ratio of water and concentrate.
Increasing the ethylene glycol content in antifreeze to more than 70% leads to a decrease in the freezing point of the mixture. Try to use only the antifreeze brands recommended by the manufacturer.
