Adding Coolant
Make sure the engine and radiator are cool.
Turn the reserve tank cap counterclockwise and relieve any
pressure in the coolant system. Do not push the cap down

Reserve Tank
Cap
Removing the reserve tank cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant to
spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the reserve tank
cap.
WARNING
Pour the fluid slowly and carefully so you do not spill any. Clean up any spills immediately;
they can damage components in the engine compartment.
