Hot components

The engine or exhaust system components become very hot and remain in this condition for a certain time interval
after the engine has been switched off. Before handling these components, make sure that you are wearing insulating
gloves or wait until the engine and exhaust system have cooled down.

Coolant

The coolant contains ethylene glycol which, under certain conditions, can be become flammable. When ethylene glycol
burns, it produces an invisible flame which can nevertheless cause burns.
•
Take care not to pour coolant onto hot engine or exhaust system components.
The fluid may catch fire and burn with invisible flames. When carrying out maintenance operations, it is advisable
to wear latex gloves. Even though it is toxic, coolant has a sweet flavour which makes it very attractive to animals.
Never leave the coolant in open containers in area, accessible to animals as they may drink it.
Keep out of the reach of children.
•
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is still hot. The coolant is under pressure and may cause burns.
