A hot radiator is under pressure. Therefore,
do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam
may be blown out, which could cause
serious injury. When the engine has cooled,
open the radiator cap as follows:
Place a thick rag or a towel over the radiator
cap and slowly turn the radiator cap
counterclockwise toward the detent to allow
any residual pressure to escape. When the
hissing sound has stopped, press down on
the radiator cap and turn it counterclockwise
to remove.
The following procedure applies to all of the cool-
