check that the rubber gasket inside the radiator cap is in the proper
position.
J Changing the coolant
WARNING
D Never attempt to remove the radiator cap until the engine has
been shut off and has cooled down completely. Since the coolant
is under pressure, you may suffer serious burns by a spray of
boiling hot coolant when the cap is removed.
D Never let engine coolant contact your eyes because engine
coolant can be harmful to your eyes. If engine coolant gets in
your eyes, immediately flush them thoroughly with clean water.
For safety, when performing this work, wearing eye protection is
advisable.
