G050A01TG-AAT
Use  a high  quality  ethylene-glycol cool-
ant in a 50/50 mix with water. The engine
coolant should be compatible  with alumi-
num  engine  parts.  Additional  corrosion
inhibitors or additives should not be used.
The cooling  system must  be maintained
with the correct concentration and type of
engine  coolant  to  prevent  freezing and
corrosion.
Never  allow  the   concentration  of  anti-
freeze  to  exceed  the  60%  level  or  go
below  the 35%  level  or  damage  to the
coolant  system  may  result.  For  proper
concentration  when adding  or  replacing
the coolant,  refer to  the following  table.

seriously burned if you do not observe
this precaution. Do not remove the  ra-
diator cap  until the radiator  is cool to
the touch.

When  adding  coolant,  use  only  deion-
ized water  or soft  water for  your vehicle
and never  mix hard water  in the  coolant
filled at  the factory. An  improper coolant
mixture can  result in serious malfunction
or  engine damage.

The coolant level can be seen on the side
of the plastic  coolant reservoir. The level
of the coolant should  be between the "L"
and "F"  lines  on the  reservoir when  the
engine  is cool.
