WARNING
A hot radiator is under pressure. Therefore,
do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam
may be blown out, which could cause
serious injury. When the engine has
cooled, open the radiator cap as follows:
Place a thick rag or a towel over the
radiator cap and slowly turn the radiator
cap counterclockwise toward the detent to
allow any residual pressure to escape.
When the hissing sound has stopped, turn
the radiator cap counterclockwise while
pressing down on it and then remove it.
