Protective measures/rules of conduct
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 BMW M6, 2009 BMW M6, 2008 BMW M6, 2007 BMW M6, and 2006 BMW M6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Risk of scalding!
Only carry out repair work on the cooling system after the engine has cooled down!

IMPORTANT:
Lifetime coolant filling:
Never reuse used coolant!
When replacing and removing components which rely on the corrosion protection effect of the coolant, it is essential to change the coolant. The cooling system must therefore be drained and refilled.
In the case of other removal work involving the draining of partial quantities of coolant, replace these quantities which have been drained with new coolant.

Installation note:
Use only recommended coolant and observe mixture ratio. See COOLING SYSTEM - OPERATING FLUIDS .
- Wear safety goggles
- Wear protective gloves
- Observe national/country-specific regulations
IMPORTANT:
For dirt contamination of the cooling system (e.g. by engine oil), the cooling system must be rinsed with water until all dirt contamination is removed!
IMPORTANT:
Risk of skidding due to coolant on the floor.
Danger of injury!
Catch and dispose of drained coolant in drip tray (1) and if necessary special tool 00-2030 DEVICE (universal hydraulic lifting equipment).
