You can be burned if you spill
coolant on hot engine parts.
Coolant contains ethylene glycol
and it will burn if the engine parts
are hot enough. Do not spill

coolant fill procedure. Failure to
follow this procedure could cause
the engine to overheat and be
severely damaged.
To add coolant:
1. Turn the engine coolant
recovery reservoir dipstick cap
counterclockwise 1/8 of a turn
and slowly pull out the dipstick.
2. Pour the coolant into the
engine coolant recovery
reservoir.
3. When the level is correct, as
per the markings on the
dipstick, replace the coolant
recovery reservoir dipstick cap
and turn clockwise to secure.

when the engine is not running
and can cause injury. Keep

Steam and scalding liquids from a
hot cooling system can blow out
and burn you badly. They are
under pressure, and if you turn
the radiator cap
—
even a
little
—
they can come out at high
speed. Never turn the cap when
the cooling system, including the
radiator cap, is hot. Wait for the
cooling system and radiator cap
to cool if you ever have to turn
the pressure cap.
