CAUTION
■
When inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
●
If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until the
steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.
●
Keep hands and clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from the fans
and belts. Failure to do so may cause the hands or clothing to be caught, resulting
in serious injury.
●
Do not loosen the radiator cap or the coolant reservoir cap while the engine and
radiator are hot. High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
■
When adding engine coolant
Add coolant slowly after the engine has cooled down sufficiently. Adding cool
coolant to a hot engine too quickly can cause damage to the engine.
■
To prevent damage to the cooling system
Observe the following precautions:
●
Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust etc.).
●
Do not use any coolant additives.
