NOTE:

In countries or regions that there is no frost due to climate conditions, the freeze protection does not need to be checked.

Read the cut-off line to obtain an accurate value for the following tests. Place a drop of water on the glass using a pipette to improve the readability of the cut-off line. The cut-off line can be clearly recognized on the "WATERLINE".
