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.
