If sprayed on the windshield, engine coolant could
make it difficult to see through the windshield.
When the engine is cool, add a 50/50 mixture of
engine coolant and water to the engine coolant
recovery reservoir — DO NOT ADD DIRECTLY TO
THE RADIATOR. Add straight water only in an
emergency, but you should replace it with a 50/50
mixture of coolant and distilled water as soon as
possible.
Check the coolant level in the coolant recovery
reservoir the next few times you drive the vehicle.
If necessary, add enough of a 50/50 mixture of
coolant and water to bring the liquid level to the
fill line on the reservoir.
WARNING
Never remove the coolant recovery cap
while the engine is running or hot.
If you must remove the coolant recovery cap,
follow these steps to avoid personal injury:
1. Before you remove the cap, turn the engine off
and let it cool.
2. When the engine is cool, wrap a thick cloth
around the cap. Slowly turn cap
counterclockwise to the first stop.
3. Step back while the pressure releases.
4. When you are sure that all the pressure has
been released, use the cloth to press the cap
down, turn it counterclockwise, and remove it.
