CAUTION:
Turning the radiator pressure cap when the
engine and radiator are hot can allow steam
and scalding liquids
to
blow out and burn you
badly. Never turn the pressure cap
--
even a
little
--
when the engine and radiator are hot.
Add coolant mixture at the recovery tank, but be careful
not to spill it.

A
CAUTION:
You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot
engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol,
and it will burn if the engine parts are hot
enough. Don't spill coolant on a hot engine.
Radiator Pressure Cap
(All
Engines)
NOTICE:
Your radiator cap is an 18 psi (124 kPa)
~
pressure-type cap and must be tightly installed to
~
prevent coolant loss and possible engine damage
from overheating. Be sure the arrows on the cap
line up with the overflow tube on the radiator
filler neck.
When you replace your radiator pressure cap, an AC@
cap is recommended.
Thermostat
Engine coolant temperature is controlled by
a
thermostat
in the engine coolant system. The thermostat stops the
flow of coolant through the radiator until the coolant
reaches a preset temperature.
When you replace your thermostat, an AC@ thermostat
is recommended.
