Coolant warning in freezing temperatures??

anyone know why my warning light comes on when my car is cold for about 1 minute then turns off?

Could it be because the water in my g12 ratio is freezing???

Coolant level is probably too low or the sensor in the bottle is acting up.

Ideally you want to run a 50/50 mix of G12 and water.

The G12 is there to keep the water from freezing

That's the whole "anitfreeze" thing. :-P Check your coolant level.
