Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot; the
coolant is under pressure and could severely scald you.
Keep hands away from the radiator fan. The fan may start
automatically without warning and run for up to 15 minutes,
even after the engine is turned off.
CAUTION:
Engine coolant will damage paint. Quickly rinse any spilled coolant
from painted surfaces.
Wait until the engine is cool, then turn the radiator cap counterclock-
wise until it stops. DO NOT PRESS DOWN WHILE TURNING THE
CAP. After any remaining pressure has been relieved, remove the
cap by pressing down and again turning it counterclockwise. Add
enough coolant to fill the radiator, and reinstall the cap. Be sure to
tighten it securely. Fill the reserve tank up to the MAX mark with
the engine cold.
Maintenance
1. Check the freeze protection level of the coolant with a hydrome-
ter.
2. Keep the front of the radiator free of dirt and debris.
3.Check hoses and hose clamps regularly.
Replacing Engine Coolant
Replace coolant at 36 months or 45,000 mites (72,000 km), which-
ever comes first. Thereafter, replace every 2 years or 30,000 miles
(48,000 km), whichever comes first.
