VEHICLE CARE
Adding coolant
�
WA R N I N G
The cooling system is under pres­
sura and can get very hot. Reduce
the risk of scalding from hot cool­
ant by following these steps.
•
Turn off the engine and allow it
to cool down.
•
Protect face, hands and arms es­
caping fluid and steam by covering
the cap with a large, thick rag.
•
Turn the cap slowly and very
carefully in a counter--clockwise di­
rection while applying light, down­
ward pressure on the top of the
cap.
•
To help avoid being burned, do
not spill antifreeze or coolant on
the exhaust system or hot engine
parts. Under some conditions, the
ethylene glycol in engine coolant
can catch fire.

If, in an emergency, only water can be add­
ed, the correct ratio between water and an­
tifreeze (see
page
238) must be restored as
soon as possible.
If
you have lost a considerable amount of
coolant. then you should add cold antifreeze
and cold water only when the engine is cold.
Do not fill coolant above the "MAX"
mark.
Note
Coolant pollutes the environment
and could cause an engine fire. Ex­
cess coolant will be forced out
through the pressure relief valve in
the cap when the engine becomes
hot.
Screw cap on again tightly.

it must be caught and safely
