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.

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 coolant reservoir cap while the engine and radiator are
hot. High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.

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.).
