SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Engine Coolant
WARNING
Check, replenish or change the engine coolant only after the engine has •
sufficiently cooled down.
If the coolant is still hot, do not remove the radiator cap. Hot vapor will come out •
and you may be scalded. The coolant in the surge tank will be hot, which may
also cause scalding. Perform all checks, replenishment and change when the
coolant temperature has lowered.
When removing the radiator cap or surge tank cap, use a thick cloth to cover the
•
cap and turn it slowly.
Engine coolant is toxic and must not be ingested. If coolant gets in your eyes, •
rinse them immediately.
Engine coolant is flammable, and therefore, it must be kept away from flames •
and other heat sources. Engine coolant also could ignite if it comes in contact
with a hot surface, such as the exhaust manifold. Exercise caution to prevent
this from happening.
NOTE
Use a mixture of tap water and engine coolant at an appropriate concentration. •
