can cause burns.<
Coolant is comprised of water and coolant addi-
tive. Not all commercially available additives are
suitable for your BMW. Ask your BMW center
for suitable additives.
The warning lamp lights red up in spite
of the handbrake being released; a
message is shown on the Control Dis-
play: stop immediately.
Only use suitable additives, otherwise

present a health hazard; observe the instruc-
tions on the containers.<

checked.
Comply with the appropriate environ-
mental protection regulations when dis-
posing of coolant additives.<
