WARNING!

•

The warning words “DO NOT OPEN HOT” on

the cooling system pressure cap are a safety pre-

caution. Never add engine coolant (antifreeze)

when the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or

remove the cap to cool an overheated engine. Heat

causes pressure to build up in the cooling system.

To prevent scalding or injury, do not remove the

pressure cap while the system is hot or under

pressure.

•

Do not use a pressure cap other than the one

specified for your vehicle. Personal injury or en-

gine damage may result.

Disposal of Used Engine Coolant

Used ethylene glycol based engine coolant (antifreeze) is

a regulated substance requiring proper disposal. Check

with your local authorities to determine the disposal

rules for your community. To prevent ingestion by ani-

mals or children, do not store ethylene glycol based

engine coolant (antifreeze) in open containers or allow it

to remain in puddles on the ground. If ingested by a

child, contact a physician immediately. Clean up any

ground spills immediately.

Coolant Level

The coolant bottle provides a quick visual method for

determining that the engine coolant (antifreeze) level is

adequate. With the engine idling and warm to normal

operating temperature, the level of the engine coolant

(antifreeze) in the bottle should be between the “ADD”

and “FULL” lines, shown on the bottle.

The radiator normally remains completely full, so there is

no need to remove the radiator cap unless checking for

engine coolant (antifreeze) freeze point or replacing cool-

ant. Advise your service attendant of this. As long as the

engine operating temperature is satisfactory, the coolant

bottle need only be checked once a month.
