Servicing the Cooling System
WARNING
Discharge of hot, pressurized coolant or touching
a hot radiator and surrounding parts can cause
severe burns.
• Do not remove the radiator cap when the en-
gine is hot. Always allow the engine to cool for
at least 15 minutes or until the radiator is cool
enough to touch without burning your hand
before removing the radiator cap.
• Do not touch the radiator or surrounding parts
that are hot.
WARNING
Wear personal protective equipment to protect your
eyes and hands when opening the radiator cap to
protect against any pressure in the radiator.
If coolant is spilled on your skin or clothing, change
your clothing and wash the affected skin immedi
-
ately.
DANGER
Engine coolant can cause poisoning.
• Do not swallow engine coolant.
• Keep out of reach from children or pets.
ATTENTION
Using an incorrect coolant mixture and/or type can
cause engine damage. Use only a mixture of 50 per-
cent distilled water and 50 percent ethylene glycol
antifreeze.
Recommended antifreeze: a low silicate, phospate
free antifreeze (ethylene glycol) containing supple
-
mental coolant additives (SCAs) to inhibit corrosion
and rust
Dye color does not determine the antifreeze prop-
erties. Ethylene glycol antifreeze of different colors
can be mixed.
