Hazard

The coolant used may not be compatible with the vehicle’s cooling system. Over time, this could cause corrosion, blockages, damage to hoses and joints, and coolant leaks, reducing cooling performance and potentially causing the engine or hybrid components to overheat and leading to reduced vehicle performance or loss of propulsion assistance. Moreover, a coolant leak could also cause an electrical short circuit in the system, increasing the risk of fire. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
