The cap should be inspected and cleaned if there is any

accumulation of foreign material on the sealing surfaces.

WARNING!

The warning words DO NOT OPEN HOT on the

cooling system pressure cap are a safety precaution.

Never add antifreeze/coolant 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.

Disposal of Used Engine Coolant

Used ethylene glycol-based antifreeze/coolant is a regu-

lated substance requiring proper disposal. Check with

your local authorities to determine the disposal rules for

your community. To prevent ingestion by animals and

children, do not store ethylene glycol-based antifreeze/

coolant 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 im-

mediately.

Engine Coolant Level

The coolant bottle provides a quick visual method for

determining that the antifreeze/coolant level is adequate.

With the engine idling, and warm to normal operating

temperature, the level of the antifreeze/coolant in the

bottle should be between the ranges indicated on the

bottle.

The radiator normally remains completely full, so there is

not need to remove the radiator cap unless checking for

antifreeze/coolant freeze point or replacing antifreeze/

coolant. 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.
