tem. No further additives or inhibitors should be
used. The coolant specific gravity should be

The use of methanol based anti freeze com-
poundsmayresultinengineoverheatingandwill
invalidate the vehicle warranty.
NOTE:
Care should be taken to ensure that coolant
is not allowed to spill onto the paintwork
since the finish may become damaged. If
coolant spillage occurs, the affected area
