When adding antifreeze, strict operating procedures must be followed to ensure proper functioning of the cooling system. First, verify that the vehicle has completely cooled down to avoid scalding or system pressure release risks from opening the cap while hot. When selecting antifreeze, prioritize products matching the original brand and specification. Before replenishing, inspect the reservoir fluid level - if below the MIN mark, refill to between MIN and MAX. For evaporation-related level drops, distilled water may be added, but leaks require replenishment with identical antifreeze. Notably, antifreeze should be used year-round, not just in winter. Premium products should be replaced every 2 years or 40,000-60,000 km, requiring complete drainage of old fluid and system flushing. Always wear protective gloves during handling to prevent ethylene glycol contact with skin or painted surfaces; rinse immediately if exposed. Additionally, tropical-region vehicles require antifreeze for its boiling-point elevation properties that prevent engine overheating - never substitute with tap water.
